Tarnation is an extraordinary film in at least the following ways
- it exhibits an exceptionally high degree of narcissism
- it's not really about his mother at all, though that's what so many people
claim
- it indulges in the worst habits of ramshackle music-image mashing that
shouldn't be encouraged (the extraordinary part being this: people encourage
it)
- we do see extraordinary footage of the young maker/drag star jonathan
IMHO,
