My Winnipeg

Description

ave you ever wanted to relive your childhood and do things differently? Guy Maddin (The Saddest Music in the World, Brand Upon the Brain!) casts B-movie icon Ann Savage (Detour) as his domineering mother in attempt to answer that question in a hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown. The film is a "docu-fantasia" (as Maddin proclaims) that blends local and personal history with surrealist park, which leads to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads, to pivotal, sometimes traumatic, factually heightened scenes from Maddin's own childhood. It's the iconoclastic director's most personal film and a truly unique cinematic experience. Winner of Best Canadian Film at the Toronto International Film Festival.
