Looking for Cormac

- "Looking for Cormac" is a 33 1/3 minute documentary that follows the trail of our greatest living writer, Cormac McCarthy, from his origins in Knoxville, Tennessee, through New Orleans and into the vast expanse of Texas.
The film deals with the terrain of the American West, McCarthyesque characters and the mystery that is your heart's desire.
Unavailable in its full length version for many years, this posting marks the reemergence of this seminal fanumentary, the directorial debut of filmmaker Eric Davies, together with filmmaker/musician/carnival barker John McKay, and filmmaker and painter Jim Collier.
The film also features rare recordings from elusive Greenwich Village singer-songwriter Jack Foy, whose erie story is the subject of a follow up film now some twenty years in the making, and due to be released from the same film makers later this decade.
Looking For Cormac has played at film festivals across the country, the Film Forum in New York City, and VHS and DVR players across Brooklyn.
Click play, and join these pilgrims as they enter the world of McCarthy, and encounter characters that seem sprung from the pages of Blood Meridian, Child of God, Suttree and other dark classics.
Fly them.
A documentary of innocence and experience in the twilight of the 1990's. Great stuff. Looks like these guys had fun.
I watch this documentary a lot of times. This is really great.
I can appreciate the quest for Cormac McCarthy, but I wonder if these fellows truly appreciated that they found Larry Brown.
lolol - so true. Larry Brown and C’mack are kindred souls...
Hell yeah.
I've watched this a few times and I like it. I couldn't get a handle on when this was filmed until they showed the newspaper headline "Gacy denied final appeal" and they executed him in 1994 so it must have been just a bit before then.
This was a passable adaptation of J C's heart of darkness. I like the crazy homeless guy they cast as the crazy Russian guy. Good job.

Larry Brown was in this film. He was a good writer too. Read a couple of his novels, then when I did some research to see what else he may have written, I found out he died. Was sad to hear that. He seemed a writer with a lot of potential, and was still young.
But this film is about Cormac, and I have been a fan of his writing since I discovered him while browsing a book store years ago. The book I pulled off the shelf was Blood Meridan. Opened the book and read one paragraph. It described Glanton knocking on a door. I was captivated by Cormac's writing style and power of description. Closed the book, thought to myself, I am not spoiling this book, I am going to read this from the beginning.
It was back in 1990s like 93 or 94 when I first read Blood Meridan. It took me a long time to read it. For one thing his vocabulary was so expansive I was continually breaking out my dictionary. I did not know what to make of the story. Was it history or wild fantasy? It was written like a first hand eye witness account, with an air of conviction rarely found in fiction. When I was done I went back to the book store where I bought the book and asked if there was a way I could contact the author. He gave me his publishers mailing address and told me to write Cormac in care of them, so I did. The letter never came back, so I assume he got it.
Good little doc about a writer who is the best in American literature today, IMO
Born: July 20, 1933
Died: June 13, 2023 ... RIP.
He is not some loner, this highly intelligent guy hangs out with scholars and scientists these days at the Santa Fe Institute. His Suttree days are long gone and over. All he had to say are in his books. Cheers.
SPOILER:
They will not find Mr. McCarthy -- but give it a chance, sit through the dull part until you get to the end and you'll suddenly realize there is no other part.
Why the fuck are you asking a bunch of nutters where McCarthy is?
Why not start by contacting his publisher!
Google it...
'I can't Spell.'
Because that's the Suttree spirit
i’m trying to find him too...his technique is magnificent. could he teach us something about hiding the writer from the writing?
That's not possible
He is in the suburbs, surrounded by mountains. He lives in a small brick house up in the hill. Everything is beautiful in the land of the sun.

Rest In Peace Mr. McCarthy
Sounds like it's about you , not him
Would sound better if they'd ditched the banjo player at a rest area before they crossed the Tennessee line.
they don't find him. save yourself the half hour.
it’s not about finding him, it’s an allegory.
@@mattmontag3922 ooooooooh
@@mattmontag3922 Nah, the other guy had it right.
@@MisterRlGHT ~ nah ……… ironic given your name.
They are writing 'Myth' above those little blurbs on Cormac when I think they mean something more like 'Rumor.'
How can you make that quote the opening of your film? I didn’t watch the whole thing; maybe you resolve it. But the mystery is there’s no mystery. We all know that.
This is interesting. Y'all seem to me like a bunch of lost boys in search of the man you see as a surrogate father who can tell you something about the world that you don't already know. Or know, but have perhaps mislaid.
Doubt it
where's eric? that's who i'm looking for
Who pay’s your rent?
Thing is - you don't find McCarthy by driving down the interstate -
'Looking for Tarmac.'
A Creedmore would be my choice for these two. McCarthy owns one I've heard.
Plenty of the 'myths' are not.
You seem like nice enough guys - but isn't there something so "done" about packing up a car, taking a camera, and stalking a reclusive writer? I mean, maybe you haven't done before yourselves, or maybe you have, but it really is played out, isn't it?Let me save you time, JD Salinger is dead, so you wont need to run out and get more batteries
let it be i say. i see they found him in a lot of senses (in that they found america).
why not get a real job.
It's a side effect of youth. And anyway, its refreshing that they're on a pilgrimage to obtain wisdom from a brilliant and wise man, as opposed to marginally intelligent actors on some late night talk show.
@@charlessomerset9754 Did you even watch the video? They never meet the brilliant man, and we waste 30 minutes listening to the yammering of egotists too vacuous even to be talk show guests.
@@MisterRlGHT Yes, I watched the video. I know they never found the man. They didn't come off as vacuous or egotistical. In a world where most guys their age are locked into Call of Duty quests and fantasy betting leagues, its refreshing to see some guys who are actually inspired by literature. Do you really understand the word vacuous?
Wow, what a waste of time this was.
I have no problem with the project concept, but the narrator's speech cadence sounds like an SNL documentary parody. Why not just speak normally? Drop the pretense? Too self-inflated to endure. Sorry.

Jesus, this is just the worst documentary ever. I don't blame them for not going into his house. It's a bit disillusioning meeting your hero in the flesh.

This was made like in the 90s before McCarthy was a household name thanks to The Road, the internet, and Oprah. I could see how myths could spring up with how reclusive he was.
+iiPrOpHcY I guess, it just seems to me that myth sounds like something that was a rumour but has since been proven wrong. As in "a myth about x is that he did x but was proven false." I dunno it just sounded off to me but I might be wrong.
They make the mistake of thinking myth is a synonym for falsehood, when most myths are factually true.
