My Winnipeg

Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood and do things differently? Guy Maddin attempts to answer that question in a hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown. A documentary (or "docu-fantasia" as Maddin proclaims) that inventively blends local and personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths, the film covers everything from the fire at the local park which lead to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads to pivotal and factually heightened scenes from Maddin's own childhood, all laced with a startling emotional honesty.

    boring

    This must be the film I have rented and watched the least of. I watched about 20 minutes of boring monotone monologue with arty black and white flashed images before deciding that it was not going to 'start' that this was it. The description could have been better and i would not have wasted my time on this.

    Different

    This is a different approach to documentary making. However the flashing up of text captions is really, really irritating and unnecessary.
