    Writer/director Tom Schiller conjures a suspicious number of the stylistic hallmarks of the (significantly) later body of work by Guy Maddin. Foremost a pastiche of visual elements from the early years of cinema, stretching from Melies to the 1950s. But also, the dream-like, highly tongue-in-cheek narrative form.

    Maddin had the energy and talent to take these ideas much further, but Schiller's innovative contribution here is unfortunately forgotten.

    A very odd film that kind of won me over with its refusal to behave the way a conventional movie should. Made in 1984 but designed to look like a 40's film. Never released in theaters. 11 years 10 months ago
