One thing I love about Netflix is how is causes me to watch something other than the usual mindless cinema that's generally forced down the throats of the American public. I watched this documentary yesterday called "Marwencol". It was definitely strange and left me feeling a little depressed in the end, but was it fantastic.

In the words of KPBS film critic Beth Accomando, "Recently we've had a spate of faux documentaries and films so wrapped up in their own cleverness that it's refreshing to have an old school documentary in which the filmmaker is more interested in his subject than in himself. Malmberg respects his subject and intrudes just enough to give us an amazing window to Hogancamp's world."

Check it out.
