Well, there you have it. Reactions during this film range from “how’d they do that” to “Zzzzzzz.” And, yet, it’s only about an hour. Film Forum wisely couched this with two of Maddin’s earlier shorts, yet, alas, it reminds one that the short film is, indeed, Maddin’s perfect medium. This movie is wild, but I can’t say I enjoyed it.
