1) Julien Donkey-Boy
Julien Donkey-Boy is a film that captures the effects of schizophrenia on family life, and it does so with an unhinged and concentrated portrayal. Harmony Korine, the director and writer, successfully creates a sense of realism by using hand-held photography and allowing character development to dictate the pace of every scene. While A Beautiful Mind focuses on the life of a mathematician with schizophrenia, Julien Donkey-Boy takes a different approach by exploring the impact of the illness on the entire family. The film uses exaggeration liberally to condense its subject matter, resulting in a disturbing and somewhat unrealistically condensed depiction of schizophrenia. Although the experiences depicted in Julien Donkey-Boy may be hard to recognize for those who haven't lived through it, the film's truth resonates strongly with those who have. It serves as a sensitive and truthful portrayal of the illness, showcasing the superb acting of the cast.
