With films like "Forrest Gump" or "Cast Away" Robert Zemeckis has already created cinematic monuments. Now he appears to be taking Steve Carell to the heights of his acting skills as he plays an emotionally and physically injured creative trying to balance his life through puppets, lots of imagination and photography. In addition to the gripping story, which is based on the true character of Mark Hogancamp, the animated sequences and the interplay between reality and fantasy should be particularly promising. "Welcome to Marwen" can be seen in our cinemas from January 10, 2019, and the strip will be shown in the US&A from November 21, 2018.
When a devastating attack shatters Mark Hogancamp (Carell) and wipes away all memories, no one expected recovery. Putting together pieces from his old and new life, Mark meticulously creates a wondrous town 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. In a bold, wondrous and timely film from this revolutionary pioneer of contemporary cinema, Welcome to Marwen shows that when your only weapon is your imagination ... you'll find courage in the most unexpected place.
