It’s HERE! My Winnipeg Trailer!

by Marina Antunes
May 8th, 2008

My Winnipeg OnesheetYes! It’s finally here!

We’ve been expecting it for a while but I must admit it’s taken much longer than I had anticipated. Last week I managed to track down a very cool interview with director Guy Maddin that showed a little footage of what we could expect from his latest film, the fantastical semi-documentary known as My Winnipeg but IFC has finally released a trailer.

Along with the glorious trailer, we have an official write up of the film direct from the website:

Have you ever wanted to relive your childhood and do things differently? Guy Maddin (THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD) casts B-movie icon Ann Savage as his domineering mother in attempt to answer that question in MY WINNPEG, a hilariously wacky and profoundly touching goodbye letter to his childhood hometown. The film is a documentary (or “docu-fantasia” as Maddin proclaims) that blends local and personal history with surrealist images and metaphorical myths that cover everything from the fire at the local park, which leads to a frozen lake of distressed horse heads, to pivotal, sometimes traumatic, factually heightened scenes from Maddin’s own childhood. MY WINNIPEG is Maddin’s most personal film and a truly unique cinematic experience, winning the best Canadian film at the Toronto International Film Festival and the opening night selection of the Berlin Film Festival’s Forum.

Yes, it’s a glorious trailer and thanks to our friends at Quiet Earth for the heads up!

Check it out tucked under the seat!

  1. Happily in my top 10 films of last year. Great.

  2. Saw this at the Vancouver Film Festival. Can’t recommend this film enough! I think most people her at Row Three would enjoy this film, but If your a Canuck, or even better a Winnipegian, you’ll get a lot more of the jokes.

    Top ten 2007, for sure!

  3. Oh my this looks bloody marvellous. Is there any chance of an international theatrical release (doubt it) or a DVD release?

  4. Why oh why have I not yet seen a Maddin film? I can’t seem to get my hands on one. I know Brand Upon the Brain played in Mpls. for about 60 seconds, but I missed it.
