Brand Upon the Brain!
I sincerely want to thank Fortunato for suggesting this one...what a wonderful experience this film is.
Such a beautifully made excursion into the surreal...it combines conventions of silent film with some theatrical sensibilities and a fantastic horror/sci-fi vibe. It's funny, touching, chilling and just all-around enthralling - I'll second Fortunato's recomendation, and say that this is essential viewing for anyone interested in surrealist cinema.
I really have to check out more of Maddin's work, ASAP.
