Review of Twilight of the Ice Nymphs (1997) by Gemma F — 13 Jan 2008
Garish, stilted, utterly artifical, dreamlike to (or maybe beyond) a fault...shot completely inside a Winnipeg asbestos factory-turned-soundstage, you'll know pretty much from the Froot Loop credits whether or not you're going to be able to come along for the ride.
If you can, you'll end up in Mandragora, that Arctic region where the sun never sets, men go sleep-hunting or farm ostriches, mad doctors grow homunculi while kissing tidebound statues, and the women all look like Alice Krige, Pascale Bussieres or Shelley Duvall.
Best single line, delivered by a guy covered in starfish and seaweed: "How long have I been fucking you?".
