Canada/2007/80 mins/ctba. Dir: Guy Maddin. With Darcy Fehr, Ann Savage, Amy Stewart.
Part credulity-straining mockumentary, part delirious satire of nostalgia itself, Canadian oddball Maddin (The Saddest Music in the World) describes this as an attempt to film his way out of the frozen nowheresville he has lived in for 50 years. A glorious black & white ‘docufantasia’ My Winnipeg combines mostly invented town history with re-creations of the auteur’s childhood traumas — also fictional.
This psychosexual film recalls David Lynch’s fascination with the lurid beneath the bland and John Waters’ campy-but-sincere love for his own cruddy hometown, yet is far stranger and funnier than both.
"bizarre, hilarious, and nothing at all like any documentary I've ever seen" - Montreal Gazette
