Surreal, satiric and surprisingly touching, Maddin's film looks at the secret lives of families in a work that is equal parts childhood reminiscence, Expressionist horror movie, teen detective serial and Grand Guignol reverie. Guy Maddin's latest delirious creation is a silent film like none you have ever seen before.
I actually think it's very anti-David Lynch in the sense that this film proves (as Maddin himself said) that an "arthouse" movie doesn't have to be slow ...Not that I don't enjoy how rightfully slow-paced Lynch's (or Kubrick's or Herzog's) movies can be.

Saw this tonight. Wasn't sure at first if I could follow it because of the style, but quickly became absolutely enthralled with it.
