9/10
at once scary and lovely

Strange tale of Doug, whose autobiographical/episodic memory is wiped one night due to still-unknown causes. He remembers nothing personal, just facts about the world and how to perform skills he has mastered. This is a wild dual-camcordering of his reintegration into a family, a profession, and finally a network of friends (including the director/principal cameraman) he was meeting for the first time. Doug shoots footage full of the wonder of things we take for granted, and the tenuousness of that which we consider integral: our sense of self, which seems to be constructed from the totality of our experiments. Doug is not what Doug was.
