This week the first two films of cult director Terry Zwigoff get the Criterion treatment. Zwigoff’s debut film, the documentary Louie Bluie](http://www.criterion.com/films/27509-louie-bluie) (1985) tells the story of Howard Armstrong, a fiddle and mandolin virtuoso who ages ago recorded one of Zwigoff’s favorite records, “State Street Rag.” The documentary finds him still spry in his mid-70s, and he lived another 18 years after the film was released. The movie contains some terrific quasi-blues music, though Zwigoff insists that "it’s only 10 percent of what he can really do."Filed under: New on DVD, Lists
