Careful
1992, 100 min
Country: Canada Studio: Zeitgeist Cast: Kyle McCulloch, Gosia Dobrowolska, Sarah Neville, Brent Neale Director: Guy Maddin Our Rating:
FROM THE LINER NOTESThe third feature from visionary Canadian auteur Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg, Brand upon the Brain!) takes place in a 19th-century mountain village where the wary residents must tread carefully and speak softly lest they cause an avalanche. Sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles with deadly consequences.3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM
REVIEW
A culture of repression and paranoid caution inhabits a small mountain valley community living in stringently enforced guilt, guarding against the threat of avalanche. This alternate world is described by director Maddin (Tales of Gimli Hospital) in saturated colors and stark imagery coupled with kitschy detail, creating a hyperreality of repressed passions; a rigidly organized hotbed of Freudian conflicts where dead fathers try to caution Oedipal sons, and daughters vie for fathers' affections. Visually sumptuous, witty and truly unique, Careful can be described as "David Lynch meets German Expressionism" via dream therapy. It's both stimulating and adventurous.
