FNWeird: ARCHANGELFebruary 2 @ 8:30 pm
$12
Guy Maddin’s surreal and visually striking sophomore film ARCHANGEL
is revitalized with a stunning new 4K transfer from the original
negative supervised by the director with the generous support of
Telefilm Canada. Literally a film like no other, this weird, wild and
extraordinary photoplay is both melodrama and deadpan parody. An
amnesiac soldier, seeking his lost love, arrives in Archangel in
northern Russia to help the townsfolk in their fight against the
Bolsheviks, all quite unaware that the Great War ended three months
ago. (Guy Maddin, 1990, Canada, 1:30, NR)
