Your greatest creation is the life you lead
Filmmaker Jonathan Caouette's documentary on growing up with his schizophrenic mother -- a mixture of snapshots, Super-8, answering machine messages, video diaries, early short films, and more -- culled from 19 years of his life.
"A daunting blend of head trip, cinéma verite, music video, and auto-therapy."
— Anthony Lane
"By all odds, Tarnation should have been an unwatchable, masochistic morass, but Caouette's love for the broken Renee -- which is the true subject of the film -- is awe-inspiring."
— Peter Rainer
