Review of Marwencol (2010) by Mildo . — 25 May 2011
Very neutral story telling of a man recovering not only from his brain damage, but his life before the brain damage. The movie starts with a sympathetic portrayal of a man who is injured and looses all his knowledge and memories at 37 and has to relearn everything. Once he relearns the basic he has to reinvent himself. He learns from his friends who he was whether alcoholism failed marriage cross-dresser and artist. In recreating his life he chooses what qualities to carry forward.
There is a parallel narrative of his hobby/Life/Art of building dioramas featuring him and his friends in 1/6-th scale living lives in WWII that parallel the events in his life.
