The Forbidden Room (2015)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.75 cats
Director: Evan Johnson | Guy Maddin

The Forbidden Room

Jason says: “Given that THE FORBIDDEN ROOM wasn’t even really supposed to be a movie, you have to say it turned out pretty well. Conceived as a two-part multimedia project – the first half live ‘seances’ where Guy Maddin and

Keyhole (2012)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.9
Director: Guy Maddin
Starring: Brooke Palsson | David Wontner | Isabella Rossellini | Jason Patric | Louis Negin | Udo Kier

Keyhole

Jason says:  “Winnipeg-based director Guy Maddin has never been anything less than unconventional, but some of his more recent efforts have met the mainstream halfway; they were peculiar films but the audience didn’t have to take up residence in Maddin’s

My Winnipeg (2008)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 5 cats
Director: Guy Maddin
Starring: Ann Savage | Cory Cassidy | Darcy Fehr | Louis Negin

My Winnipeg

Michael says: “What a delightful evening in the Wintergarden theatre spent enjoying the world premiere of Guy Maddin’s pseudo-documentary MY WINNIPEG. Maddin was challenged by the Documentary channel to make a doc on his hometown of Winnipeg, and Maddin being

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4.75 cats
Director: Guy Maddin
Starring: Gretchen Krich | Jake Morgan-Scharhon | Maya Lawson | Sullivan Brown | Todd Moore

Brand Upon the Brain!

Beth says: “Guy Maddin. His latest, a semi-autobiographical silent film, with a live musical accompaniment, a narrator and a foley effects crew. Pretty much unmissable, really, even if I don’t always get Maddin – I love silent films shown with

Cowards Bend the Knee (2005)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 4 cats
Director: Guy Maddin
Starring: Amy Stewart | Darcy Fehr | Melissa Dionisio

Cowards Bend the Knee

Chris says: “If Guy Maddin’s most accessible effort, THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD, failed to move you, I’m not even going to try to convince you to check out this hour-long film that was made roughly around the same

The Saddest Music in the World (2004)

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.25
Director: Guy Maddin

The Saddest Music in the World

Bruce says: “This film is wildly innovative and original, a stunning success creatively speaking. It is unique. Filmed in fuzzy sepia and silver tones for the most part, the film lapses into moments of strange color, the returns to the

By Chlotrudis Independent Film Society
Rating: 3.5 cats
Director: Guy Maddin
Starring: Dave Moroni | Tara Birtwhistle | Wei-Qiang Zhang

Dracula: Pages from a Virgin’s Diary

Michael says: “Guy Maddin is a talented and creative filmmaker. For his latest U.S. release, he has taken Mark Godden’s interpretation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet and turned it into an beautifully eerie film with moments
