''Brand Upon The Brain!'' is a 2006 [[LeFilmArtistique art film]] by Guy Maddin.
Protagonist [[AuthorAvatar Guy Maddin]] returns to Black Notch island, where he grew up alongside an orphanage run by his mother and father, to put a new coat of paint on the lighthouse to appease his mother. The film consists of twelve labeled chapters, most set back in Guy's childhood, dealing with a mother who spies on the island from the lighthouse, the "aerophone" invention he always carries which lets his mother contact him from any part of the island through the power of love, his burgeoning feeling for SweetPollyOliver Chance/Wendy, girl detective, the love triangle between him, his sister, and Chance, a sinister scheme involving harvesting "nectar" from the orphans... it's a strange movie, really.

!!Tropes included:
* BrainFever -- Guy legitimately comes down with it at one point.
* DeliberatelyMonochrome -- The film is black and white except for the occasional SplashOfColor, generally on sexual images in reds and pinks.
* EternalRecurrence -- Guy has an odd quote that "Everything that happens will happen again. Twice." He has specifically returned to the island in hopes of refinding the happy experiences of his childhood.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep -- The family consists of Mother, Father, Sis, and Guy.
* KidDetective -- Wendy and Chance are famous harp-playing Kid Detectives whose adventures are apparently published as books.
* KnockoutGas -- Guy deploys it to put the orphans and Mother to sleep so that Chance can examine them. He succumbs to the gas himself.
* LoveChart -- Two are featured, showing the complex interrelations of three characters. There are two because there's one for Wendy and one for Chance, both of whom are the same person.
* MaleFrontalNudity -- Due to Father, there is more male frontal nudity than female nudity.
* {{Retraux}} -- It's a black-and-white silent film, done with many vintage touches.
* SilenceIsGolden -- The film is done as a silent film with sound effects, but included a live narrator for many of the screenings. The track of Isabella Rossellini was used as the narrator for performances that lacked a live narrator. The DVD release includes all of the featured live narrators as choices, as well as Guy Maddin.
