The Director of FORREST GUMP Invites You to a Most Unexpected Place…

A victim of a brutal attack finds a unique and beautiful therapeutic outlet to help him through his recovery process. When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town named Marwen where he can heal and be heroic. As he builds an astonishing art installation – a testament to the most powerful women he knows – through his fantasy world, he draws strength to triumph in the real one.

“A well-meaning, heartfelt, and vigorously engaged tribute to a remarkable person…” ** – New Yorker**

“Welcome to Marwen, though highly imperfect, is the film of an immoderate, quixotic commercial artist, full of risk and failure, with a tin-ear to what constitutes popular appeal, and shot through with passages of perplexing power and grace.” - MUBI
