“Searching For The Wrong-Eyed Jesus”.
This is the best film I’ve seen for a while.
Funny, watching it I thought, “It’s like ‘True Sto­ries’, minus the fil­ters”.… then I read David Byrne is invol­ved in the equa­tion somehow.
Jim White’s music’s pretty haun­ting. Wow. Here’s a back­ground piece on him in The Guar­dian.
Here’s some Goo­gle searches for it as well…

    I saw this film this wee­kend. Spell-binding, exce­llent movie, kept me hoo­ked right through, but made me VERY glad I wasn’t born in small-town southern USA — way too gothic.

    Yeah Mark, I had simi­lar thoughts… Heh.
    Of course, there’s A LOT more to the South than Hill­bi­lies and Bible Bashing.
    It’s an inte­res­ting place…

    David Bryne’s label, Luaka Bop, pro­du­ces Jim White, as well as seve­ral other exce­llent artists. I can’t wait to see the film.

    I’ve had his cd kic­king around for about 6 years –and never tire of it. Par­ti­cu­larly “Per­fect Day to Chase Tor­na­dos.” I always thought his music would make a great soundtrack.
