Marwencol 2010
Marwencol.
On April 8, 2000 Mark Hogancamp was leaving a bar when he was attacked and almost beaten to death. He has no memory of the attack or his prior life. This documentary focuses on the present where we meet a solemn and intelligent man who is caught up in 'Hogancamp' a tiny fictional world where Mark is finding a manner in which to deal with his trauma.
It's hard to describe what makes this film so special, it is a quiet, tenderly beautiful story of a man who stepped back from the edge of a near-fatal incident and creates his own therapy through art. The photos he takes of his tiny town are crisp and beautiful.
