SKINOPSIS

Guy Maddin is one the weirdest ducks in the pond. This fake memoir about his childhood has got a lot of hazy footage and all of his other trademarks of weirdness. He was also kind enough to throw in some booby scenes (including one with his "mother"). If you like headscratchingly weird, yet oddly compelling movies then you hould definitely check this one out. And even if you don't, at least it's got titties, right?

3 REASONS TO BUY THIS FILM

  • Includes two Guy Maddin shorts
  • "A singular achievement." - Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
  • According to metacritic.com, the only review that was lukewarm came from the Village Voice. And they just fired almost everyone on their review staff.
