Full Plot Details

Drako Oho Zaraharzar can remember modeling for Salvador Dali and hanging out with The Stones. But he can't remember yesterday. This "beautifully intimate and utterly unique piece of cinema" gained 4 star reviews from The Times, The Guardian and The Independent in the UK. Filmed over four years, The Man Whose Mind Exploded attempts to understand and accept the world view of someone with serious brain damage, and it resonates for anyone who's tried to care for someone who may not be great at caring for themselves. Following a severe head injury, Drako Zaraharzar suffers from terrible memory loss, he can access memories from before his accident, but can't imprint new ones. As he puts it, "the recording machine in my head doesn't work". Consequently, and as an antidote to depression he chose to live "completely in the now" according to the bizarre mottoes delivered to him whilst in a coma. Toby Amies starts off making a film exploring Drako's lurid and exotic back story including work with Dali, Warhol's Factory, Les Folies Bergère, and Derek Jarman. But frighteningly soon a line is crossed, and the documentary maker becomes carer. Drako's way of life and the extraordinary collage of notes to self and erotic art he lives in [the source of the film's title] threatens his health. What follows is unique, eccentric, funny and moving documentary about the relationship between two men, one who's trying to make a film about the other, who's existing in what appears to be a separate reality. Think: Grey Gardens meets The Odd Couple.

Movie Reviews

Contactmusic.com - 8/10 by Rich ClineWith sensitivity and a strong sense of humour, this documentary profiles both a strikingly eccentric man and an unusual mental-health issue.
Electric Sheep - 8/10 by Mark PilkingtonThe genuine warmth between Drako, on screen, and Amies off it, is enough to heat even the largest gentlemen's sauna.
Scotsman - 8/10 by Siobhan SynnotDocumentary maker Toby Amies finds out more about the parts of Zarhazar's life he can recall - and how he copes with the bits he doesn't.
Independent (UK) - 8/10 by Geoffrey MacnabToby Amies' fascinating, very touching documentary profiles the eccentric exhibitionist Drako Oho Zarhazar at the end of his life.
Guardian - 8/10 by Mike McCahillThe laying bare of one man's fetishes proves pungently compelling ... but so much else about this story, about this life, also lingers.
Screen-Space - 6/10 by Simon FosterThe heartbreaking story of an unique friendship; bring tissues.
User Review - 10/10 by Jim FFrom its opening shot on Brighton's nudist beach where the filmmaker and his subject bare all, this is a brave and beautiful film. On a human level, we can all learn a lot from Drako's pure, living in the moment visions and ideologies. As filmmakers we should all respect what has been achieved here. This film has a small budget but a big heart. It feels like something iconic has been created here - visually the incredible, paper mind explosions in Drako's apartment are powerful enough to create their own legends. The fact that they are often sexually explicit reminders, offered the director the opportunity to create some real humour in creating subtle juxtapositions, of the darker issues of Drako's existence and the lighter pornographic imagery surrounding him, quietly swaying around the ceiling above him. In terms of the film's lead character. Drako's exotic connections to Dali and Derek Jarman bestow him with a quiet legendary status and glimpses of his former existence add a deep level of humanity. That the film has chosen to deal with what Drako has become not what he was is what makes it a truly of the moment documentary. You will fall in love with Drako. This film has given him the chance to be himself without judging him, and I am really glad his life has been captured on camera like this, nipples and all.
User Review - 10/10 by Erik DI did not mean to watch this documentary. I fully expected to only watch a few minutes of it as it sounded so bizarre, but after half an hour I was hooked. I was meeting the most interesting character there may have ever been. Drako is the happiest man alive, despite the fact that he cannot remember anything in the short term. He lives entirely in the moment and does everything in life his own way. It was really something special to witness. Drako has had a very unique life. He led a life of adventure and excitement before vehicular accidents completely changed his life. He was no longer the Drako of old, but the man he was in his "7th life" was incredible. He loves everyone and everything, despite how that love can be detrimental to his health. There are of course things that you should treasure, but a refrigerator filled with dirt and filth should not be one of them. He liked the state that his home was in, despite how it was hurting him. It was very tough to watch Drako go through everything that he did. He was doing so much damage to himself but had no idea. At this point, I feel I should expand on what all was tough to watch. This movie will disturb almost every single one of you. I guarantee most of you won't make it a minute into the trailer. There are thousands of pictures of genitalia hanging all throughout his house. With that sentence, I just lost most of you. This will not be an easy watch at all. You will feel uncomfortable no matter what frame of mind you go into this with. If you do give this film a try though, you will meet a character that will be impossible to forget. Drako is the kindest man in the world, and deserves this film that puts him in the spotlight. Wonderful film, and I can guarantee I won't ever forget it.
User Review - 10/10 by Maizy LLoved his story, very nicely told. Left me thinking. But they need to fix the "Movie Info" on Rotten Toms, as it should read "TRUST ABSOLUTE UNCONDITIONAL" not "Conditional"
User Review - 10/10 by Rotimer JBeautiful, moving, uplifting, and sorrowful. A genuinely touching documentary.
