With his latest work, MY WINNIPEG, iconoclastic filmmaker Guy Maddin continues in the freewheeling, genre-bending tradition that has made him one of Canada's most consistently intriguing and internationally respected artists. MY WINNIPEG is a documentary (or docu-fantasia, as he describes it) about his hometown. Equal parts mystical rumination and personal history, city chronicle and deranged post-Freudian proletarian fantasy, MY WINNIPEG - which is framed as a goodbye letter - blends local myth with childhood trauma. Somehow, it all feels seamlessly assembled, utterly if perversely logical-a beautifully personal meditation on belief and truth, memory and myth. A deliriously layered provocation, MY WINNIPEG is outrageous, informative and wildly entertaining.

Could it be that this is where inspiration for "Lemony Snicket's Unauthorized Autobiography" came from? It has that same style (photos, etc), atmosphere, and "depressing" narrative the books have. I love it :)
how depressing is this shit? made me want to jump off the louise bridge :P ......... for real though, if i didn't live here i wouldn't have bothered sitting through the entire thing and since i did..... worst fucking thing i ever saw.
not to mention "winni" the pooh which was a black bear brought to england in the first world war as a mascot for the regiment and ended up in a zoo, he was named a "pooh" bear by the authors daughter one day
