“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.
