I would not try to claim that "Archangel" is the best film ever made in Canada. (There would be all of Guy Maddin's other movies to deal with, for one thing. )
But I have no difficulty in claiming "Archangel" as my best-loved Canadian film ... no, wait ... what about "The Big Snit"? ... ahhhh!!

Buñuel and Dali would have frowned upon this mediocre and uninspiring director; those looking to be enlightened by meaningful art films please seek out the work of the two remaining surrealists David Lynch & Bruce McDonald and leave Guy Maddin to his pretentious silent film copycat obsessions.

Lame and pretentious. Guy Maddin's work is so over-rated and overhyped. I expected so much more, especially since I'm a big Kino and classic silent film fan. I was let down by "The Heart Of The World" too. I guess I shouldn't be surprised since most of his funding come from the Canadian goverment.
so bad
