My Winnipeg (Guy Maddin / Directors Suite) 

[ Madman Films / DS / DVD ]

Release Date: Thursday 14 May 2009

Rated: M - Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993M No Notes

M - Contains nudity. Starring B-movie goddess Ann Savage (Detour) and filmed in stunning black and white, Guy Maddin's dreamlike homage to his home city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, is one of his finest, with a visionary aesthetic which is sure to excite the audience's imagination.

Hiring actors to play his mother, his sister and his two brothers, My Winnipeg is exactly that: Maddin's own account of the events-real or imaginary-which affected his life. While he may wish to escape his life in Canada's north, from the sleepwalking locals to the frozen, fleeing horses, My Winnipeg is testimony to the unique experiences of childhood and the way it may shape one's artistic sensibilities.
