The Saddest Music in the World

[hilary y]

I love all of Guy Maddin's movies. If like pynchon, you mean that they  are great works of art that are to be re-visisted, re-read and  re-experienced, I couldn't agree more. They are all on my list.  Archangel is great. The heart of the world can be viewed many times in  sequence. His movies reference so much, that I am sure that you can  watch them and find more obscure references, again and again.  
  He sometimes makes appearances at film festivals. If you get the chance  to see him definately go, he is witty and personable.(he told a great  story of how he "seduced" Isabella into doing to the movie. By watching  great films with her over and over.)  And the movies are much  better with an audience. (I am such a dork that I got his autograph.)
  
  (Those canadians must have a pretty good art scene. I am hearing about more and more good stuff from there all the time.)
  
  
  Thanks for the utube link.

His book or essays, articles, et al, Tales from the
Atelier Tovar is both entertaining and edifying, and
see Caelum Vatnsdal's Kino Delirium: The Films of Guy
Maddin as well ...

... if only for the 100 short film reviews by Maddin
at the end.  Hilarious ...

Maddin, by the way, has a particular  talent for
resuscitating archaic or otherwise overlooked
vocabulary ...
