I want to live in Marwencol, the little town featured in the documentary with the same name.
This documentary illustrates the powerful story of a man from Kingston, NY who was beaten by five men outside a bar to the point that he incurred traumatic brain injury. After losing his memory and personality, he sought a therapeutic release through art. He created a sci-fi/alternative history world in his head and fashioned a real-life stage in his backyard, one-sixteenth the size. Using dolls to play parts, he recreated scenes from his past, present, and imagination. The photographs of his work have been featured in at least one NYC gallery.
Marwencol will make you forget all about Inception. Inception is predictable slop compared to this all too fantastical reality built by one traumatized genius in his backyard.
