Review of Keyhole (2011) by Brandi A — 21 Aug 2012

A gangster ventures through his house searching for his wife, encountering tragic family memories along the way, in this surrealistic version of the Odyssey. Contains some cool ideas---Isabella Rosselini keeps her naked father chained to her bed in a sick psycho symbiosis---but it's even more confusing than Guy Maddin's usual offerings, without that spark of mysterious magic that animates his best films.

Only for those who are already Maddin fans; this is not the place to start exploring his world.
