Phantom Limb2005
PHANTOM LIMB revisits the childhood death of the filmmaker's younger brother, a major tragedy that spun Jay Rosenblatt's family on a sad axis. Rosenblatt's treatment of the death and decades of grieving, through personal narrative, amazing scenes of amputation and experimentation from medical archives and contemporary interviews (one with a man who talks about his phantom limb), reinforces what a truly strange balancing act survival of any kind actually is. - Susan Gerhard

Powerful rendering of the effect of the absence of significant people, especially when their absence was brought about through a traumatic event, and then to have this not spoken about.
amazing
