GUY MADDIN AND THE MYTHOLOGISING OF WINNIPEG
Tuesday, July 1st, 2008As befits his style, Guy Maddin has chosen incidents from the city’s past that benefit from Byzantine retelling – the horrific tale of a herd of race horses trapped in a frozen river, a local bridge that was destined for Egypt and dreams of foreign climes, the buffalo stampede that destroyed Happyland, an amusement park reclaimed by the homeless and re-erected on the city’s rooftops.
