The Russian Woodpecker (2015)
Strange in the Most Beautiful Way

Like no other documentary I've seen. This movie immerses you, not just in the political and cultural forces shaping the Ukraine, but in the mind of one its most eccentric and brilliant inhabitants. Whether you ultimately believe the theory of the Chernobyl disaster that Fedor develops is beside the point. It's about traveling with him as he pieces things together and marveling at the sights along the way. From political upheaval in modern Ukraine, to the intrigue and conspiracies of cold war statecraft, to the bizarre and beautiful patchwork inside Fedor's head. The unique characters and beautiful, surreal images of this film will stay with you for a long while.
