Bonsai Films is proud to launch Marwencol on iTunes, Bigpond Movies, Google Play and Foxtel On Demand on September 15th .
This oddly fascinating award winning film interlaces one mans personal tragedy with art and obsession:
Damaged soul Mark Hogencamp creates a miniature WW 2 village, populating it with GI Joes and Barbies representing himself, his friends and attackers and photographing it in painstaking detail. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, suddenly Mark’s homemade therapy is deemed “art”, forcing him to choose between the safety of his fantasy life in Marwencol and the real world that he’s avoided since the attack An epic tale of love, adventure, resurrection and revenge – all told in 1/6 scale.
Marwencol is “exactly the sort of mysterious and almost holy experience you hope to get from documentaries and rarely do.” – Village Voice.
