Marwencol Page #2

Synopsis: "Marwencol" is a documentary about the fantasy world of Mark Hogancamp. After being beaten into a brain-damaging coma by five men outside a bar, Mark builds a 1/6th scale World War II-era town in his backyard. Mark populates the town he dubs "Marwencol" with dolls representing his friends and family and creates life-like photographs detailing the town's many relationships and dramas. Playing in the town and photographing the action helps Mark to recover his hand-eye coordination and deal with the psychic wounds of the attack. When Mark and his photographs are discovered, a prestigious New York gallery sets up an art show. 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.

OR WHAT IT TASTES LIKE,

THEN I DON'T MISS IT.

[RAGTIME MUSIC PLAYING]

I JUST FIGURED:

I'D BE LIKE SAM MALONE,

YOU KNOW, FROM "CHEERS."

YOU KNOW, HE'S

A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC

AND HE IS A BARTENDER.

I MADE MY ALTER EGO FIGURE

DRINK ONLY COFFEE

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT

I DO IN REAL LIFE,

DRINK TONS OF COFFEE.

Man:
DOES ANYBODY

EVER TRY AND OFFER

YOUR ALTER EGO A BEER?

YEAH. YEAH.

AND WHAT HAPPENS?

I JUST TELL THEM

I DON'T DRINK.

THE ONLY ENTERTAINMENT

I COULD THINK OF

WAS CATFIGHTING.

SO I PAID THE GIRLS

TO CATFIGHT.

STAGED CATFIGHTS

FOR ENTERTAINMENT

PURPOSES ONLY.

I NAMED MY CLUB,

BESIDES HOGANCAMP'S,

I ADDED A LITTLE BIT MORE.

HOGANCAMP'S

RUINED STOCKING.

CATFIGHT CLUB.

THE ONLY ONE IN BELGIUM.

THIS PLACE. JUST LOOKING

AT IT SOOTHES ME.

I USED TO BE ABLE

TO DRAW ANYTHING

THAT CAME TO MY MIND,

BUT NOW, SINCE

THE ATTACK, I CAN'T

BECAUSE MY HAND:

SHAKES TOO MUCH.

THIS ONE WAS EVIDENCE.

STILL HAS:

THE EVIDENCE STICKER.

HIS DRAWINGS WERE THERE

TO SHOW TO THE JURY

WHAT THIS INDIVIDUAL

WAS CAPABLE OF DOING.

BRAIN DAMAGE:

YOU CAN'T SEE

WITH YOUR OWN EYES,

BUT YOU CAN SEE:

THE MANIFESTATIONS

FROM WHAT PEOPLE HAVE

BEEN ABLE TO DO BEFORE

TO WHAT THEY CAN DO NOW.

MOM, I'M HOME.

I NEED SUPPLIES.

Mark Wikane:

WHEN MARK FIRST CAME IN

AFTER THE ATTACK,

HE WAS VERY UPSET.

HIS HAND WASN'T STEADY

ENOUGH TO DO ANYTHING.

AND HE WAS AFRAID THAT

HE WASN'T GONNA BE ABLE

TO CONTINUE,

AND THAT JUST FRUSTRATED

THE HECK OUT OF HIM.

SO WE ENCOURAGED HIM.

AND JANET, WHEN HE

DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY,

SHE'D GIVE HIM A KIT

OR SOMETHING:

TO WORK WITH.

HE KEPT BRINGING THINGS

IN TO SHOW US.

AND YOU COULD SEE

THE EXCITEMENT IN HIM,

LIKE, "YEAH, YEAH,

IT'S THERE. I HOPE

TO GET BETTER AT IT.

I'M IN

THE HOBBY SHOP.

I JUST LOVE:

THE HOBBY SHOP.

YOU GET TOO--

YOU GET TOO EXCITED.

EVERYTHING'S REAL.

THE SLIDE ON THE .45.

THE HAMMER.

THE CLIP EVEN COMES OUT.

SO THAT ADDS TO MY,

YOU KNOW, VERBOSITY

OF GETTING INTO IT,

INTO THE STORY,

BECAUSE I KNOW:

EVERYTHING WORKS.

I ALMOST KNOW WHAT EVERYTHING--

WHAT EVERY SATCHEL'S CARRYING.

YOU KNOW, THAT'S GRENADES.

THIS IS THE BRIEFCASE

I CARRY AROUND.

IN HERE WE HAVE MONEY,

THE DETONATOR,

AND THEN CERTIFICATE

OF OWNERSHIP:

THAT I MADE UP MYSELF

FOR MY DOLL FIGURE

TO CARRY AROUND:

BECAUSE THIS PROVES

I OWN THE BAR, THEN.

THIS IS MY MOM,

MY MOTHER.

THIS IS FROM THE MOVIE

"GOLDFINGER," 007.

P*SSY GALORE

WAS HER NAME.

ANYWAY, YEAH, IT LOOKS

JUST LIKE MY MOM.

WHEN MY MOTHER:

CAME TO VISIT,

I SAID, "MOM, MOM,

LOOK, THERE'S YOU.

YOU'RE TENDING BAR."

THEN SHE--"YEAH, OK."

DIDN'T EVEN LOOK.

JUST WALKED RIGHT

PAST IT.

SO IT'S LIKE--BUT IT'S

MY MOM, YOU KNOW.
