Miss Gretchen, November 17, 2007

Lukas, in his review, says it best in regards to this film. I was late to the party in the Guy Maddin appreciation society, and was worried he'd be some kind of pale David Lynch. Although broadly speaking you can compare the two, still, Maddin is "one to a box" as my grandmother used to say. I started my Maddin obsession with his direction of the ballet version of "Dracula: Pages From a Virgin's Diary" with The Royal Winnipeg Ballet, which was definitive. I've been blazing my way through the canon ever since. I also highly recommend The Guy Maddin Collection of short films; "Twilight of the Ice Nymphs" is a David LaChapelle-ish color-saturated extravaganza starring our favorite Borg Queen, Alice Krige; and "The Heart of the World" is a primer of Soviet-style montage packed into six delirious minutes. Many people consider it one of the best avant-garde films ever made.
(Look around for the documentary about him, "Guy Maddin: Waiting for Twilight," it is also superb.)
