In the Alpine village of Tolzbad in the 1800s, the townsfolk talk quietly and restrain their movements lest they incur avalanches. This atmosphere lends itself to repressed emotions - shown through the parallel stories of butler student Johann lusting after his mother (an old flame of the mysterious Count Knotkers) and Klara's attraction to her father (who lusts after his other daughter), leading to duels and suicidal plunges galore. All this is shot in the style of an early German sonal film, complete with intertitles, crackly sound-track and 'hand-tinted' colour effects. Written by Michael Brooke <michael@everyman.demon.co.uk>

I had to post a review after seeing this film, as most of the above reviewers seemed to gush profusely about the profundity of this film seeing something more than I. Don't get me wrong, I like to watch arty films and can find all the Freudian symbolism, but the asthetic was just plain awful (no matter how remeniscient of "German exprssionistic mountain films" {wot does that actually mean anyway???} it is) and the acting is purely crumby. As a lover of B-Movies, I wouldn't even rank this as a "so bad it's good" film. What a load of drivel. (PS: The documentary accompanying on the DVD shed some light on the small, closeted life of Mr Maddin and helped to explain the films fixation with homoerotica and insest, but didn't really make me want to rush out and find all of this directors work in a hurry!!)
