    Has anyone else seen this? I really liked it, although there were parts I didn't get. Like when he goes out to his plays first show and afterwards Hazel asks him if he gets high - then in the next few scenes He's at a table with what looks like a different woman, and inspecting what looks like track marks. Were they really track marks? or were they just talking about weed - since not long after in the movie he comes home to his wife who is baked.
    From my point of view, in this movie, the tap that comes off and hits him in the head, causes him to develop Cotard Delusions (belief that the affected is dying, has died, or that their insides are putrifying), but what causes his autonomic functions to fail?

    Can anyone else recommend movies where the protagonist suffers from a slight mental illness? I'm fascinated by the characters, and the studying the schema of those characters. I find the different things that drive us really interesting, because there are always different reasons even if that thing is the same.

    Could have been an hour shorter, but all in all, a great movie.
