Movie tonight, becoming a bit of a Wednesday routine (the boy calls it IFN, for Independent Film Night). So we see Marwencol - The embedded trailer below. Shot on Super 8, it's a brilliant documentary tracing - in his own words - one man's recovery from a beating that left him brain damaged and unable to function normally. Shot on a Super 8, it probably cost less than $10, 000 to make, and offers easily a thousand times the value of a film that cost a thousand times as much to make. See it while it's still at the Uptown.
