More festival adulation for Jonathan Caouette's abuse and electroshock saga Tarnation, the first feature-length film edited entirely in iMovie.
"The surprise hit of the Cannes film festival is a movie made by a first-time director with a budget of precisely $218.32," reports the Guardian.
Caouette digitized old home movies on his iMac and cut them into a feature about his fucked-up family in just three weeks. The movie took off at Sundance, where director Gus Van Sant signed on as executive producer.
It is now heading to multiplexes; Caouette struck a US distribution deal, according to the Guardian.
