et's not lie; Monday is kind of a dull day. Fortunately for Miamians, Sweat Records' Music Movie Mondays has been a consistently fun and interesting early-week event. Not content to go with the obvious choices (i.e. School of Rock), the indie-record store has kept its selections fresh and unique. Tonight they present the documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston a study of the schizophrenic tortured-genius singer-songwriter Daniel Johnston. The first time I saw this film, being unfamiliar with Daniel Johnston, it seemed as though this was a mockumentary. The narration is dreamlike and unbelievable, but these are real events. You should check it out; it's worth your time. Plus it's only 3 bucks.

Actually it's not $3, it is free. There's a donation box if you want to give something to the store but that's it.

I am the producer of this film and want to make sure that since you are charging admission you have obtained a license to show the film publicly. Please verify this with me before the screening. Sony Pictures Classics is the North American rights holder.
