Marwencol.
It's now streaming on Netflix.
A friend recommended this award-winning documentary and I just watched it without knowing anything about it.
IMO that's the best way to watch films, as long as you trust the person who recommended it.
You get 100% of the experience intended instead of having some of the story 'spoiled' by previews.
You get to really appreciate how a good writer, director and editor slowly reveal a story like peeling back the layers of an onion.
If you simply must learn about it before deciding whether to see it, here is the preview.
But more than perhaps any other film, this preview will ruin the film for you.

Here's a snip from their website:
"Marwencol" was released theatrically by the Cinema Guild and aired on PBS.
It has won over 25 awards, including two Independent Spirit Awards, Best Documentary of the Year from the Boston Society of Film Critics and Rotten Tomatoes, and the Grand Jury Award for Best Documentary at the South by Southwest Film Festival.
The Los Angeles Times calls the film “an exhilarating, utterly unique experience” while the Village Voice says that it's “exactly the sort of mysterious and almost holy experience you hope to get from documentaries and rarely do.”
