OTHER
Guy Maddin’s glorious new short is a heart-stopping trip to an expressionist netherworld, sparkling with a beauty and intensity that leaves you breathless.
—Mimi Brody (2001)
Commissioned for the 25th Anniversary of the Toronto International Film Festival, this furiously edited, breathless parody of silent Russian cinema is a tribute to the very heart of the world: KINO!
—Jason Sanders (2006)
FACTOID #319
The Library of Congress supplied the Festival with the only existing print of Double Indemnity for the Fred MacMurray tribute in 1987. The problem was, the reels were not marked for the projectionist. But the show must go on! The projectionist ordered the reels using his intuition and the gamble paid off—the film was screened in perfect sequence.
