Picture a legless, irresistibly enticing, Depression Era beer baroness, Isabella Rossellini, fitted with beer bubbling glass gams, inviting the cultures of the world to present their saddest music in an international competition and this is just one of a half dozen unforgettable characters in this absurdist study of grief. The choice to film in fluttering back and white creates quite an authentic and eerie feeling; Isabella Rossellini, Mark McKinney, Maria de Medeiros, David Fox and Ross McMillian: Director, Guy Maddin
