bad movie, 15 January 2004
Author: ndhand (ndhand@uchicago.edu) from chicago

This movie was really awful. I am all for art cinema and low budget films, but this was ridiculous - horrible narrative, below cheesy acting even for the sardonic/corny effect it seemed to be attempting. Granted Maddin does achieve some success in his dream-like sequences, but everything else was awful. The last person's comment was that this is "probably Maddin's best." If this is true, then he may well be a horrendous filmmaker. Deserves Bottom 100 consideration.
