Rétrospective intégrale

[Cinema]

Born in 1957 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Guy Maddin studied economics before turning to cinema. A master of low-budget filmmaking, he directed nine feature films and numerous shorts, exploring notions of loss, madness, repression and sexual deviance. His films are often set in dream-like, Gothic settings, in an undefined past. They have received praise from Martin Scorsese, Tom Waits and David Cronenberg.
