Description In Favor Of Books My Winnipeg

A herd of horses frozen in a river. A bargain bridge. Séances. Golden Boy pageants. A demolished hockey arena. St. Mary's Academy for Girls. Spanky the Guide Dog through Time. An epidemic of sleepwalking.

This is the Winnipeg of Guy Maddin, the world's foremost cinéaste planant, and it's not the Winnipeg you'll find in tourist brochures. When the iconoclastic auteur of The Saddest Music in the World decided to tackle the subject of his hometown, it could only have become a 'docu-fantasia,' a melange of personal history, civic tragedy and mystical hypothesizing. The result is wildly delirious, deeply personal and deliciously entertaining.

Herewith, venture deeper into the mind of Maddin with the text of his narration, wantonly annotated with an avalanche of marginal digressions, stills, outtakes, family photos, emails, essays, deoculations, animations, notebook pages and collages. There's even an X-ray of Spanky the pug and an in-depth interview with Michael Ondaatje.

Winnipeg, Winnipeg, Winnipeg.

"Guy Maddin (born February 28, 1956) is a Canadian screenwriter and director of both features and short films from Winnipeg, Manitoba. His most distinctive quality is his dogged persistence in recreating the look and style of silent or early sound era films which has solidified his popularity in niche-cinema and academic circles.While Maddin strives to recreate the styles and moods of early filmRead the STOP SMILING interview excerpt with writer and filmmaker Guy MaddinQ&A Excerpt: Director Guy MaddinBy José Teodoro(This interview originally appeared in STOP SMILING The Photography Issue)For as long as he can remember, Guy Maddin wanted to make movies that look like movies from 80 years ago.

Guy Maddin's annotated script/diary/myth collection/palimpsest is incredible. Maddin possesses a singular ability to tell stories in his films, as a disembodied radio-like voice in the "documentary" this book expands on, and here on the page, that conjure and recall, twist and reclaim memories. It's so impressive on its own I'd say anyone could probably enjoy the book separate from the movie, but then you'd go through life without having seen My Winnipeg, and what good would that be?

If the amazing film and its accompanying blu-ray shorts, interviews and extras aren't enough of Maddin-on-Winnipeg - and they're not! - then this book is essential. MORE Maddin, MORE Winnipeg and MORE interviews.I didn't need some of the mythmaking addenda by Maddin collaborators, but this book is pretty excellent. Here's hoping a Forbidden Room companion book comes next.
