My second viewing of this masterpiece...this time I watched it with the Crispin Glover narration track. He puts a whole different twist on things - I think I prefer the Rossellini track, but I'm very glad I tried something different this time around, and I look forward to listening to the other tracks in the future (Eli Wallach especially intrigues me).
As far as the film itself - no one alive today can make a film like Guy Maddin. A genre (and gender) bending rumination of childhood, an ode to silent film, and a love letter to the surreal...a stunning film in every sense of the word.
Fortunato has recommended this one endlessly around here...I'm infinitely glad I listened to him in the first place, and further I want to
strongly second his recommendation in hopes that everyone who considers themselves a fan of the art of cinema take it upon themselves to watch this modern work of genius.
