Guy Maddin's Brand Upon the Brain! (2006)
Seriously! Has anyone seen this? I'm really smitten with it. It's my fourth time watching it in the past month or so.
It's such a horrifying, hyper-kinetic evocation of nostalgia, how childhood memories always seem to be remembered as grand adventures, and how disturbing, exciting, and dangerous it can be to dwell on and live by them. Of course, it's done with a flair for wild imagination and a profound inspiration from scratchy old silent (horror) films.
It's autobiographical in the same way that Kurt Vonnegut's Slapstick is autobiographical.
