This month, we are joined by the
one and only
Dave Canfield of
ScreenAnarchy & Mindframes Podcast to discuss a truly fascinating
filmmaker, Canada’s very own Guy Maddin. We try to get to the
bottom of his visual aesthetics, discuss the nature of
autobiographical filmmaking and praise several of his short films
along the way. The focus this time is on the critically
acclaimed The Saddest
Music of the World as
well as his award-winning docu-fantasia My Winnipeg, which Roger Ebert named one of the best films
of the decade. In addition, we talk a lot for the what we watched
segment including a psychologically complex body horror drama
called Swallow, the recently acclaimed Portrait of a Lady on Fire
as well a brief foray into disaster
films of the late 90s! This episode has it all and we couldn’t be
more grateful to Dave for coming on. See you in about a
month! Stay safe and healthy!
