	eye - Far from the Maddin crowd - 03.20.03
		With the Toronto debut of Cowards Bend the Knee -- the film installation that won a special jury prize at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in January -- the Winnipeg-based director of such splendidly antiquated cinematic curiosities as Tales From the Gimli Hospital may have finally attained the prominence he deserves.
		Cinematheque Ontario presents five of his features and six shorts, as well as other films selected by Maddin (see sidebar).
		In Cowards Bend the Knee, Maddin recasts the people he has most cherished in his life as characters, including an abortionist, a seductress, a fisting fetishist, a beautiful ghost and, of course, a faithless, hockey-playing coward named Guy Maddin who's been given the blue-stained hands of a killer.

	Montreal Film Festival 1997
		The eerie sets, artificially coloured backgrounds, uninflected dialogue and minimalist acting all testify to the unique sensibility inherent in his films, Tales of the Gimli Hospital, Archangel, Careful and his latest release, Twilight of the Ice Nymphs.
		That actor, Nigel Whitmey, asked that his name be removed from the credits when the film's producers decided that his slightly Alberta tinged accent was unsuitable for his character, Peter Glahn, a political prisoner who interacts with the denizens of Mandragora.
		The situations owe more to old, silent movie melodramatic conventions than to a recognisable reality and he characterisations are of the arch sort.

	Film Series
		Included in the festival's summer lineup of 27 films is a four-part Guy Maddin retrospective.
