“My Dinner with Daniel” – Daniel Johnston documentary footage by David Fair 1988

Shot in 1988 at the home of Half Japanese co-founder David Fair, this striking, alternately charming and disturbing footage is cinema verite genius. Daniel Johnston, Jad Fair, Susan Fair, David Fair and Charles Brohawn (The Tinklers) all participate, after Daniel’s arrival and a taco dinner prepared by David. Daniel performs some of his classic material, including the astonishing “Don’t Play Cards with Satan“ from the documentary “The Devil and Daniel Johnston.“ Shot by David Fair on VHS.
