My Father and the Man in Black
''My Father and the Man in Black ''is a 2012 Canadian documentary film directed and produced by Jonathan Holiff about the stormy relationship between country music star Johnny Cash and the filmmaker's father, Saul Holiff, his personal manager. It qualified for Oscar consideration in 2013. Holiff was inspired to produce the film when he stumbled on his fathers' storage locker filled with audio diaries and a large assortment of other documents relating to his time in the 1960s and 1970s as Cash's manager. The locker also included a framed gold record of "A Boy Named Sue" which went on display at The Grand Theatre during the running of their musical ''Ring of Fire''.
==Production==
The film employs historically accurate flashbacks. Starting with how Holiff met Johnny Cash when he hired him to sign autographs at his "Sol's Square Boy" drive-in in London, Ontario Hollif went on to sign Cash to a number of other music gigs and Cash hired him to be his manager, with a contract written on the back of a paper napkin.
It is narrated by Jonathan Holiff, interlaced with archival audio by Johnny Cash and Saul Holiff.
The structure of the film interlocks the relationship of Cash and Saul, and often pans to the relationship of Saul with Jonathan. His son often resented his father's time on the road. There is an emphasis of the rift between Cash and Saul, caused by Cash's status as a Born again Christian and Saul as an Atheist, and how their relationship spiraled out of control. ''Variety.com'' comments on the unique structure of this film:
"Documentaries as expressions of filial trauma usually fail to generate audience empathy. But with its posthumous, anguished, first-person confessional revolving around the larger-than-life Man in Black this one partly transcends its inherent self-indulgence."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=‘My Father and the Man in Black’ Review: Poignant Documentary Looks at Johnny Cash, Manager - Variety )〕
