american mary
really, if i was being honest, i would have put forbidden room on that list over american mary, but having 3 guy maddin films in a top 5 would probably be a step too far. though probably more accurate.
Maddin rips! Just recently saw my first color Maddin film, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs. Have you seen that one?
sharenice! that is one of his that i have yet to see. i like that there are maddin films that i haven't seen yet, in that i like knowing there's more of his weirdness out there in the universe waiting for me to experience.
shareYeah there are a good bunch I have yet to check out, he's damn prolific. Really like everything so far. Twilight of the Ice Nymphs is far from his best work, and most people will surely find it "boring", but I found it pretty fascinating in several key redeeming ways, and it made a strong impression on me. Lot of elements of its sensibility that I strongly relate to.
sharemaddin is a true original. i haven't loved every one of his films, but every one of them has been its own unique, daring entity, & i think there's no one else quite like him.
