MY FATHER AND THE MAN IN BLACK

Posted on 2013-07-29

Jonathan Holiff’s new documentary is more than just another addition to the bottomless pit of archival footage dedicated to legend, man, myth and flawed mortal that was Johnny Cash.
This film is a universal and troubling tale of the very real walls that parents can build around themselves (Jonathan’s father, Saul Holiff, was Cash’s manager in the 1960s and 70s).

There is much great music, oodles of exclusive visuals (stills and film clips) and – think panelled dens, tiki bars and vintage 60s and 70s décor – seamless re-creations of the past. With more plot points and twists than a Syd Field screenwriting seminar, the narrative is strong, exposing more faces of the multifaceted Man In Black himself than ever before. It seems that drugs and drink weren’t the real cause of Cash’s professional self-destruction.
