IFFR 2003

One long peep is enough to to see this unique and naughty installation. Each of the ten peepholes is filled with action and heated moments of violence and carnivorous sexuality.

Guy Maddin focus

Cowards Bend the Knee

This over-the-top melodrama about two quarrelling families in an Alpine town has many peaks. Two butlers in training hate their mother and a lonely count hatches a plot to win back his true love.

Careful

The patriarch of a tormented family dies. The eldest son manages to bring him back, but unfortunately the father is only partly alive during his brief visits.<br />

The Dead Father

This ecstatic and moving melo-noir-drama is inhabited by amnesiacs, who are plagued by obsessions, mustard-gas attacks or both. Maddin also treats the viewer to a very original strangulation scene with intestines.
