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.

  I liked this- its poetic, arty, daft, tragic... more just one man showing us his scrapbook of memoirs of growing up in a cold, strange down-trodden city that is... read more »

  Just awful - don't waste your time. We watched the first 15 minutes or so then gave up. Pass this one by.

  Great if you are from USA but tough going for others to understand concept.
