| Maddin's documentary is built on myths and memories |
When Maddin agreed to make a film about his hometown...it became what he calls a “docu-fantasia,” a potent, highly personal blend of fact and fiction. My Winnipeg is a hypnotic vision of a dreamy burg trapped in eternal winter and heavy, hibernating passivity. Shot in gauzy black and white...I adore Guy Maddin.
From Home Truths
His narration in My Winnipeg strongly resonates with me. It's how I feel about St. Vincent. He talks about the city haunting him in his dreams. How no matter where he is, Winnipeg is right there with him. Boy, do I relate...
I'm not much for this surreal type of film-making, but I can appreciate the art of it. That screen cap (the horses in the snow) is disturbing, beautiful and mesmerizing!
