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.
Woo hoo!

Haha, awesome. I'm really glad you enjoyed it.

Definitely check out some more of his work. Last year's My Winnipeg was pretty incredible.
