Do you remember the strange uncomfortable feeling of disorientation that when one lives, left the house in the morning, we can not remember where we parked the car, confused and wander around the block?
Nothing to worry about, things that happen to all humans, unless you remember to end (after a long pilgrimage) that you have never had a car.
Then things get a bit more complicated, perhaps.
also speaks of this film the Mouth of Madness by John Carpenter in an interesting survey that begins March 10 Metropolis Area 2.0 Paderno Dugnano, titled DANGEROUS MIND (complete program http://www . cinetecamilano.it / ).
Carpenter's film (scheduled for Tuesday 30 March at 21:15) is undoubtedly the least popular among those included in the review (except "The fall the House of Usher" by Jean Epstein, 1928, which will be screened on Wednesday, March 24 21:00 accompanied by live Piano by Francesca Badalini) and perhaps even less attractive when compared to masterpieces and recognized as Kubrick's The Shining (a must for those who have not ever seen, Wednesday, March 10 at 21.00) and Hitchcock's Psycho (Wednesday, April 14 at 21.00).
The protagonist is John Trent (Sam Neill overtime), a private investigator who exposes fraud on behalf of insurance companies and is also found to lose all certainty (up to the drift of "The Divided Self ") when you put looking for Sutter Cane, a writer of world fame with his horror novels that have achieved a worldwide fame, so that the outputs of his books cause delusions and hysteria (including murder) by the fans.
The writer here plays the role of the medium used to spread the insanity to all humanity through the written word, as if to punish acriticità of their fans who depend on its own verb and, dazed and (verb) to employees are no longer able to distinguish reality from fantasy.
There is in this film - from the '80s charm, even though it is 1993 - the theme is not new in the film of the fragility of identity and confusion and disintegration of the concept of reality (and I can think of, among others , eXistenZ by David Cronenberg).
Where, following of experience in some (unexpected or searched, sensory, real or imagined), you realize how fragile our being and how fallacious are our certainties and our security, how different will the world (or people) from what we had imagined, when it manifests in our deception and the fragility of our earthly existence (which goes hand in hand with the fragility of our minds) involved here is the existential disaster, and the reaction is the inevitable instability, as retaliation for daring to explore and breaks down all barriers to cross, dangerous, no return.
The subject of this apocalyptic horror is full of references to tales of Howard Phillips Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe (as well as to contemporary Stephen King), but it is also a tribute to Philip K. Dick (how can we think of "Time Out of Joint ", which among others has inspired The Truman Show).
If the argument of crumbling certainties were lovers, I recommend "The Tenant " by Roman Polanski, and " Circular Ruins" by Jorge Luis Borges short story from the collection entitled, indeed " Fictions."
