Movie Info

Louisiana-born filmmaker John Maringouin arrives at the front door of his father Johnny Roe's New Orleans home unannounced to offer an apocalyptic portrait of his dysfunctional family in this unflinching, multi-sensory documentary that utilizes digital and auditory manipulation to take the viewer deeper into the psyche of a disturbed artist than they may care to travel. When Maringouin was just a child, his drug-addicted father once threatened to kill his family. These days, artist Johnny lives

John Maringouin's emotionally raw Running Stumbled makes the term 'dysfunctional family' quaint and insufficient.

This astoundingly personal documentary grips us with its sheer audacity.

Shadows on the Wall

Alternates between laugh-out-loud funny moments of rural depravity and chilling depictions of human indecency.

It's a documentary, however, comparing it to fiction filmmaking, Running Stumbled plays out like a twisted Cassavetes film.

Audience Reviews for Running Stumbled

This film is fucking claustrophobic, oppressive and hypnotic. For me there were a few moments when the director's manipulations pushed it too far into the realm of fiction (it's a peddled as a doc), but most of the time it was dead on and totally inspired. I'm anxious to see some more of John Maringouin's stuff.
