The only movies I've seen about stroke have been 'Last Vegas', 'Gods and Monsters', 'Amour', 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'. I refuse to see '9000 Needles' since it is about acupuncture and there is no scientific proof it works except as a placebo.
My Beautiful Broken Brain, a documentary executive produced by
David Lynch about a young woman recovering from the devastating effects
of a hemorrhagic stroke, has been acquired by Netflix. Dutch-French
filmmaker Lotje Sodderland—the subject of the film as well as its
co-director—contacted Lynch during the filming process after she began
experiencing altered sensory perceptions that made her “feel like [she
was] in a David Lynch movie.” Next thing you know, she was.“I am thrilled to join Lotje and Sophie in sharing My Beautiful Broken Brain with the world,” Lynch, who also appears in the film, said in a statement. “The brain is truly fascinating and much in the way that our brains are able to achieve total coherence — finding enlightenment and fulfillment, you will surely be moved and inspired by this journey of self-rediscovery.”
Anyone familiar with Lynch’s filmography should not be surprised that he would have been interested in the “waking dream” aspect of this documentary. Even less so if they know that the director once allegedly agreed to shoot a commercial for a home pregnancy test because it involved “the psychological torture of a beautiful young woman.” So, this clearly has David Lynch scrawled all over it.
My Beautiful Broken Brain will begin streaming on Netflix on March 18, two days before the end of SXSW, where it’s been chosen as an official selection.
