BUZZ BOY: Jonathan Caouette spent $218 making “Tarnation.” The documentary received a standing ovation at Cannes.

Born and raised in Houston, Jonathan Caouette grew up mostly with his grandparents.

Since his mother was in and out of hospitals dealing with acute bipolar disorder, Jonathan also spent time in the foster care system, where he experienced traumatic neglect and abuse.

At the age of 11, to escape the pain and drama, he borrowed a neighbor’s video camera and began documenting his daily life.

A self-proclaimed packrat, Caouette saved 160 hours of footage, photographs and answering machine messages.

Almost 20 years after shooting his first videotape, Caouette began using the iMovie editing software, which came bundled on his boyfriend’s Apple computer.

The result: “Tarnation,” one of the surprise hits at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival, where it received a standing ovation.

Caouette says the film only cost $218.

“Tarnation” debuted at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival and has already gained a cult following.

Last year’s Cannes Palme d’Or-winning director Gus Van Sant and “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” filmmaker John Cameron Mitchell liked it so much they came on board as executive producers.

On Saturday, North Texans can get a sneak preview of this autobiographical masterpiece at the Modem Art Museum of Fort Worth.

“Tarnation” is part of the Magnolia at the Modem film series. Modem Art Museum of Fort Worth, 3200 Darnel St. Sept. 25, at 7 p.m. $7.50. 817-738- 9215.

Tarnation film

Tarnation is an extremely moving film made by Jonathan Caouette that I recommend anyone should watch! The film is about the life of Jonathan himself and his relationship with his mentally ill mother. What is so impressive about the movie is that it is made up of 20 years worth of VHS and Super 8 footage along with hundreds of photographs. Not only this but the entire film is edited with iMovie making the budget of the movie $218.32. It is clear that Caouette had a passion for filmmaking from a young age as we see him filming himself acting different characters and videoing his family and friends. Even at a young age, he had a very clear understanding of the struggles and complexity of life. As an audience, we see this through the characters he acts as. 

At the beginning of the film, we learn about his mother’s life and her struggles with mental health. This then becomes the underlying narrative for the rest of the film as Jonathan deals with his lifelong repercussions of having a mentally ill mother and wanting to support her whilst also living his own life with many of his own issues. The film explores sexuality, mental illness, childhood, family and life in general in such a unique and experimental way. Below is a link to the movie on Youtube.
