James O. Incandenza: a filmography (Fathers and Sons)
Possible Scandinavian-psychodrama parody, a boy helps his alcoholic-delusional father and disassociated mother dismantle their bed to search for rodents, and later he intuits the future feasibility of D.T.-cycle lithiumized annular fusion.
Context
Valuable Coupon Has Been Removed — the "(his father)" panel, the film of Himself's own boyhood. The alcoholic-delusional father, the bed torn apart hunting rodents, and the boy who "intuits the future feasibility of D.T.-cycle lithiumized annular fusion": that boy is young Jim Incandenza, who really did predict annular fusion, filming the household he was raised in. The insight is the branch the wound takes here — the son isn't damaged into paralysis but into genius, the same delusional father who dismantles the bed also produces the kid who sees the physics of the future, and the film refuses to pull the two apart.
