Careful

Screening on Film

Directed by Guy Maddin .
With Kyle McCulloch, Cosia Dobrowolska, Paul Cox.
Canada, 1992, 35mm, color, 100 min.

Guy Maddin’s loony, hysterical masterpiece is about a 19th–century village where repressed desires threaten to erupt and cause an avalanche. "Careful!" is the village’s buzzword admonition, against star-crossed lovers, blind ghosts, and incestuous obsessions. The awe-inspiring Winnepeg sets seem transported from UFA Studios in Germany in the 1920s. The Village Voice: "Laugh-out-loud funny from beginning to end."
