Review of The Saddest Music in the World (2003) by Patrick N — 13 Jan 2013

I had earlier seen Maddin's 'Careful' and was bewildered but mesmerized by it. This is another example of his creating a universe with an alternate reality. The characters follow an emotional logic through a dream-like landscape.

I don't know if I "got" any message, but I intend to see more of his work simply because it is so hallucinatory, humorous and melancholic. It is so uncool it is cool.
