Maddin is simply one the most inventive directors anywhere. He's David Lynch with a more pronounced sense of humor. Five years before Zohan, Maddin gives us a hockey-player turned hairstylist turned murderer. Throw in vengeance, lust, family, abortions, homoeroticism, ghosts, and a wax museum. It's a surreal Greek tragedy in Maddin's black-and-white, silent dream world, from a bygone era that never existed.

Guy Maddin is a truly unique filmmaker. This piece is a throwback to the Silent Era: presented in black and white with occasional splashes of color, told with written dialogue rather than vocals, and backed by unobtrusive music. However, you would not have seen a story like this one decades ago - a hockey player suffers a concussion and accidentally leaves his girlfriend while she's getting an abortion and falls in love with the daughter of a bordello owner. You also wouldn't have seen full frontal nudity. But, that's beside the point. The film is visually remarkable in the ways the director produces so many interesting shots despite self-imposed limitations. Moreover the script and characters are wonderfully well-crafted. While its run-time is brief, this picture will stay with you for quite awhile.

The pleasure is watching how the fast-paced story careens from one outrageous plot turn to the next. This is one film in which over-the-top is sincere praise.

It's difficult to rate a movie like this on the same scale by which I rate all movies. But I'll try. This movie had merit, but not enough to make a fan out of me.
