My Winnipeg
(2007)
Heavy Metal in Baghdad
(2007)
Filth and Wisdom
(2008)
Jurgen Fauth
has nothing but praise for
Heavy Metal in Baghdad
(we
felt
pretty much the same when we
saw it in Toronto
), the screening of which, Jurgen says, “was so oversold that I ended up in the front row, effectively watching a distorted fun house mirror version of Suroosh Alvi and Eddy Moretti’s documentary.”
“Most of the European critics came down pretty hard on Petri Kotwica’s
Black Ice,
a film in competition from Finland,” notes
Filmbrain
, “But I found this deliciously dark drama about dangerous deceptions to be a good bit of trashy fun.” Mr. Grant is far less enthusiastic about
In Love We Trust
and
Just Anybody
.
Daniel Kasman
is not entirely sold on Guy Maddin’s
My Winnipeg
, but he concedes “Maddin???s humor comes through perhaps stronger in this film than any other (he narrates himself, with dialog by regular collaborator George Toles), pushing an obsessive, if not repetitive, theme of the life of a city and the life of a boy being an inescapable series of traumatic, almost unreal conflicts and co-minglings of unreturnable pasts and their dream-like traces in the present.” Also at
The Auteurs Notebook
: an extremely memorable one-liner from Klaus Kinski’s “notorious one man show,”
Jesus Christ Saviour
.
3..2…1…and the
Filth and Wisdom
backlash
has arrived.
