Larry "Wild Man Fischer" - full DOCUMENTARY - Derailroaded (Inside The Mind Of Larry "Wild man" Fischer) - Year: 2005 Duration: 1 hour, 26 minutes In this shocking and sensitive exploratory journey through the thunderstorms of the mind of paranoid-schizophrenic Larry "Wild Man" Fischer, we follow his discordant encounters in the music business. Institutionalized at 16 after attacking his mother with a knife, Fischer wandered the mean streets of L.A. singing his unique brand of songs for 10 a pop to passersby. He was discovered by Frank Zappa, with whom he cut his first record album, including the enduring dada rock classic 'Merry Go Round'. A precursor to punk, Fischer became an underground club and concert favorite, earning him the title of "godfather of outsider music." In his 40 year career, he has performed constantly, was the first artist ever recorded on Rhino Records, was on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, had a top hit on the UK Pop Charts, was the subject of his own comic book, became a mainstay on the Doctor Demento Show , and even sang a duet with the late Rosemary Clooney. Derailroaded: Inside The Mind Of Wild Man Fischer is a 2005 documentary film, directed by Josh Rubin and Jeremy Lubin, aka The Ubin Twinz about outsider artist Wild Man Fischer. Contents 1 The film 2 Cast 3 Release 4 Reception 5 References 6 External links The film The film chronicles the life of Wild Man Fischer, an outsider artist who went in and out of several mental institutions when he was a child. It is composed of archive footage, interviews with people who were once associated with him, and interviews with Fischer himself. During the 1960s he was a street singer in L.A., which resulted in a cameo appearance in Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In in 1968. The same year Frank Zappa gave him the opportunity to record his first album, An Evening with Wild Man Fischer. Fischer's eccentric personality provided some truly unique music, but his mental problems rapidly ended his career. Fischer suffered from paranoia and schizophrenia and thus became impossible to work with, despite the best efforts of other artists (Barnes & Barnes, Rosemary Clooney, Zappa) to help him. Despite his cult reputation Fischer remained a poor street musician until around 2004, where he was eventually institutionalized and medicated. While his medications controlled his schizophrenia, they also suppressed his creativity.

Eichorn Miguel Ferrer Dr. Demento Mark Mothersbaugh Release The film premiered at the SXSW Film Festival in Austin, Texas.[1] MVD Entertainmanet Group released it on DVD in the US on March 22, 2011.[2] Reception Rotten Tomatoes, a review aggregator, reports that 71% of seven surveyed critics gave the film a positive review; the average rating is 6/10.[3] Metacritic rated it 57/100 based on seven reviews.[4] Joe Leydon of Variety called it "as discomfortingly fascinating as listening to a couple’s heated argument at a table near yours in a restaurant".[5] Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote, "Not everyone who watches this sad, disturbing film with its flashy, animated embellishments will agree that what Mr. Fischer does is art, whether outsider or any other kind."[6] Eli Kooris of The Austin Chronicle called it a "fascinating documentary" that rightly never answers the question of whether Fischer is a genius or lunatic.[7] Drew Tillman of The Village Voice wrote, "This bungled documentary on outsider music legend Larry 'Wild Man' Fischer mistakes exploitation for empathy".[8] Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian rated it 3/5 stars and wrote that it "works as a B-side to Terry Zwigoff's classic biography of R Crumb".[9] Derailroaded might be about music, but Wild Man Fischer isn't particularly musical in any conventional sense. More of an outsider artist, or maybe just an exploited freakshow, suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and creating during his manic peaks. This is more a study of mental illness than anything else, and we see Fischer beginning to treat the film crew as he has finally treated everyone who has tried to help him in the past. Notable scenes include a re-enactment of an interview between Dr. Demento & Frank Zappa, done with puppets, in which each reveals to the other just how beyond-the-pale crazy Fischer is.
