	Canadian Cult Hero Guy Maddin: "I Have Plenty of Sadness In Reserve"
		Maddin: She was perfect for that role and we had her in mind while we were writing it.
		Maddin: When my co-writer George [Toles] and I were writing it we were thinking of Billy Wilder's "Ace in the Hole" with a little bit of Jimmy Cagney in "Yankee Doodle Dandy." Just these sort of irrepressible people who no matter how many times you knock them down they always come back for more.
		Maddin: Whenever someone asks me to describe the highlights of my own life, I describe them with a mythic quality and they were usually the family tragedies, the most miserable things.

	Guy Maddin
		By Maddin's own admission, his films have never been designed for mass appeal, and so, one cannot help but wonder if the artificial signs of aging that he builds into his film will ever be joined by many actual signs of aging, from having been screened repeatedly in the decades to come.
		Maddin and Toles completed a script titled The Dikemaster's Daughter, which was to be set in nineteenth century Holland, or a fictitious Winnipeg, depending on which source material you read.
		Guy Maddin discusses lighting techniques in The Dead Father during an interview segment in the documentary by Gonick.

	The Private Guy Maddin
		Maddin is forever in danger of wandering into irony, but the term does not really apply to his films.
		Guy, thinking his hands to be those of Meta's father, can no longer bring himself to touch her in a sexual way.
		The nearly delirious Guy now learns that the museum was not for heroes but for cowards, men who were not brave enough to face the prospect of living a day-to-day life with a wife and children.

		Maddin arrived on the scene in 1988 with Tales from the Gimli Hospital.
		Maddin explains the inaccessibility of certain films he’s made in terms of his relative isolation in the Canadian city of Winnipeg.
		Though Maddin claimed this was a more accessible work than his earlier films, its odd narrative—about a hockey player named Guy Maddin, a bordello/abortion clinic and severed blue hands—certainly wasn’t for all tastes.

	Gerald Peary - essays - Guy Maddin
		Both are howlingly hilarious, with eye-popping visuals informed (Maddin is a movie freak) by the early history of cinema, from Nosferatu to Triumph of the Will.
		Maddin's latst work is the great short, Heart of the World (2000), perhaps the best film made anywhere on earth last year.
		As all Maddin, it's damned hard to describe, except that the cast includes a heinous, obese capitalist and dueling Jesuses, inspired by passion plays.

	DVD RE-RUN INTERVIEW: Melodrama as a Way of Life; Guy Maddin and Isabella Rossellini Talk About "Saddest Music"
		Maddin borrows stylistically from silent film, creating images that suggest a jump back in time, when cinematic technology was much simpler, but human interaction and psychology was as complex (and fucked up) as ever.
		Maddin: Because film is both a business and an art form, it always struck me that business needs to be fed by technology, and it's so fast that it moves along to the next technological advance before all the artistic potential has even begun to be wrung out of any particular era.
		Maddin: I've always believed in a simple rule and there are great artists who break this rule all the time, but it just feels like every story has its ideal schema.

	Images - The Cinema of Guy Maddin
		Maddin’s last full-length feature was 1997’s Twilight of the Ice Nymphs, his first film to utilize "name players," such as Alice Krige and Shelly Duvall, and a substantial budget.
		Guy Maddin’s Tales From the Gimli Hospital was an immediate underground favorite when first released in 1988.
		Maddin’s commentary track is informative and lively, filled as it is with low-budget filmmaking anecdotes and a rather funny revelation regarding the ages of most of the actresses in the film (they were only 13 years old).

	Guy Maddin - Northern Stars
		Guy was an abnormally imaginative child, but became even more so when a common cold developed into an intense neurological condition that resulted in strange physical sensations that made him feel as though he was constantly being touched by ghostly fingers.
		Guy’s next two shorts were a bit of an artistic departure for the filmmaker – focusing not on plot and character, but on sound and vision.
		In the film, Guy has recast important people 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.

		And as Maddin relates the journey to bring Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary to the screen, it becomes clear that what the director relished most was the experimentation the project afforded him.
		She was convinced that the vibrant colours of Twilight of the Ice Nymphs and the gothic sensibility found in Maddin's previous work made him the perfect choice for the project.
		While he did watch all the classic film adaptations Maddin claims they were of no significant influence, beyond re-introducing the character of Renfield to the ballet after watching Todd Browning's 1931 version with Bela Lugosi and Dwight Fry as Renfield.

	Transplant, Consumption, Death, Or: Disease, pathology and decay in Guy Maddin’s cinema
		Maddin’s characters look and act as if they have stepped out of an old expressionist film, yet are made of flesh and blood, and their corrupt, mutilated and suffering bodies exude an outstanding physical quality.
		Maddin is well aware of our ephemeral nature, yet he still cultivates a hope of immortality.
		[4] Maddin’s statement (in the audio commentary of the Careful dvd) that he resisted the temptation to digitally alter the film’s chromatic palette for the dvd release is quite significant, in an era of special editions and director’s cuts.

	Guy Maddin \| The A.V. Club
		Since Maddin's aesthetic encompasses both dry wit and overt distancing effects (like smeary lenses and old-timey transitions), his work until now has been just a few shades away from broad likability.
		Maddin employs elaborate sets, but with a cardboard-cutout quality, and his deadpan humor is dispensed via blatantly artificial dubbing.
		Maddin, though, has always insisted that he's not really joking (much), and that what some are hailing as a new sincerity has been present in his features all along.

	Three Films by Guy Maddin
		There are, however, some inspired touches, like Maddin's decision to fill a giant air gun with smashed bull-rish tips before every shot, blasting out a cloud of spores that make the film's backdrop look like the single most fertile forest in movie history.
		Maddin constructed Archangel (1990) as though it were a very early sound film, sporting shaky intertitles and sparse dialogue, and the film certainly looks of a piece with the silent era.
		Again, the film isn't made so much in the mode of silent films as it is to evoke the experience of watching a battered and bruised silent film 80 years on, with scratches all over the celluloid, images jumping in the gate and random frames missing.

	Guy Maddin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Guy Maddin (born February 28, 1956 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada) is a writer and director of both features and short films.
		While Maddin strives to recreate the styles and moods of early film melodramas, Weimar Republic German silent films, and 1920s Soviet agit-prop, his own distinct personal style lies in his use of clichés, psychosexual situations, bizarre stories and humor.
		It is this self-conscious and surreal merging of early film-making techniques with a post-modern sensibility that give Maddin's films their distinct style.

		Guy Maddin's "Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary" is an ultra-stylized adaptation of an adaptation...
		Added to the rather surreal spectacle of this story playing out as ballet is the fact that Maddin has made it look like an old silent movie, accompanied by a stirring orchestral soundtrack and a minimal but effective use of sound effects that punctuate major actions.
		As opposed to intolerant religious leaders being the bad guys, i instead saw a Dracula whose means to power was thru the enticement of wealth and power.

		I suppose this new DVD, which presents a short feature adapted from a series of 10 films meant to be viewed through peepholes, may be as good a place as any to start.
		In some of his longer works, Maddin’s, how shall I say, distinctive approach to the material simply overwhelms us, but with the shorts, it seems that they are just long enough to blow our minds, but short enough to allow us to gather the grey matter back together again.
		Guy Maddin is the gayest straight director I’ve ever seen–just witness Sissy Boy Slap Party on the DVD of The Saddest Music in the World.
