Synopsis

One of Canadas premier cinematic exports, Guy Maddin (b. 1956) is an award-winning filmmaker with a rising reputation. Known for his autobiographical tales hidden deeply within comical, absurd, and surrealistic narratives Maddin has earned international acclaim. Possessing a deep knowledge of silent cinema, modernist artists, and novelists, Maddins seemingly amateurish visual style and unusual subjects obscure the surprisingly literate sources for his films. This volume brings together a collection of interviews published between 1990 and 2009 and offers readers a chronological tour of Maddin's offbeat career in his own words, as solicited by a range of journalists, scholars, and fellow filmmakers. Maddin is a charming, erudite, and candid conversationalist who is frank about his own perceived drawbacks, his good fortune, and the often high art culture that motivates his cinematic explorations.
