My Winnipeg (Graded)

Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood & do things differently? Guy Maddin casts B-movie icon Ann Savage as his domineering mother in attempt to answer that question in a hilariously wacky & profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown. A documentary or “docu-fantasia”, that inventively blends local & personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths. Covering everything from the fire at the local park, which lead to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads, to pivotal & factually heightened scenes from Maddin’s own childhood, all laced with a startling emotional honesty to create personal & truly unique cinematic experience.

Grade: A +
