Country: Canada
Plot: Gangster and deadbeat dad, Ulysses Pick, embarks on an unusual journey through his home.
Quick comment: A surrealistic journey through the lost memories of a gangster (turned
into a ghost), who is desperately looking for his wife in their forsaken
mansion. As usual, Maddin adopts an atmospheric dream-like ambiance, blurry and
bizarre imagery in black-and-white and adds some supernatural content to it. No
need to tell that I was constantly struggling to grasp what was going on. The
searching is endless and the conclusions are few, but the movie sticks into
your head for some time. A challenge!
