The Films of Guy Maddin - 'Archangel' and 'My Winnipeg'
This post is pretty late coming, as tonight may be your final chance to see either of these films... but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to highlight the work of genius Canadian auteur Guy Maddin while two of his movies are showing downtown. I've seen four of his features now, and caught his most recent "documentary", the hugely acclaimed My Winnipeg, on the plane ride home from Athens (cheers to those fancy new personal screens.)
That film has been playing in Vancouver for a couple of weeks now, and I imagine come Friday the Tinsletown Cinemas could axe it to open up space for another 'Batman' or 'Pineapple Express' screening (I'll update this when I confirm). The other one is Archangel, his newly-restored second feature, screening tonight at the Pacific Cinematheque. A bit more, and a trailer, after the jump...
