Guy Maddin Movies Are Made to Look Appalling and Alienating — Now, He Says Audiences ‘Don’t Even Know What a Really Beat-Up Film Looks Like’ https://t.co/vSpV1GhlvX
Guy Maddin’s delirious third feature, CAREFUL, a parody of German mountain films of the 1920s and ’30s, receives a gorgeous new transfer and generous heaping of extras from Kino Lorber. Available on Blu-ray on 9/22. https://t.co/Wwr1FbkEPh
🗻 Taking its cues from silent era aesthetics, CAREFUL, the third feature film from singular Winnipegger Guy Maddin, is a hilarious satire that sends up both Canadian timidity and sexual repression.

***ANNOUNCEMENT***
Coming on September 22nd on Bu-ray in the US from @KinoLorber: #Careful (1992)!
Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents —adult, child and animal!—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid, luminescent tints, Careful resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet—something that could only emerge from the singular mind of Maddin (The Forbidden Room, Tales From the Gimli Hospital).
4K Restoration produced by SPHINX PRODUCTIONS from the original 16mm film negative courtesy of the TIFF FILM REFERENCE LIBRARY.

'I just felt that movies had become so standardized, easily by 1992, but more so now. And in the film festival world, there’s some return to blurry and low-res movies, but in the mainstream, no. And I thought, if this is supposedly an art form and in painting you can apply the paint with any size brush or with a stick or with your hand or get a chimp to throw it at the canvas or whatever, you should be allowed to apply sound and color the same way in film.' Chris Shields chats with Guy Maddin about the new restoration of his 1992 film Careful: https://t.co/Btqqh7PpDp

David Lynch, our beloved dad, was a guiding light of creativity, love, and peace. On Monday, January 20th—what would have been his 79th birthday—we invite you all to join us in a worldwide group meditation at 12:00pm NOON PST for 10 minutes.
Let us come together, wherever we are, to honor his legacy by spreading peace and love across the world. Please take this time to meditate, reflect, and send positivity into the universe.
Thank you for being part of this celebration of his life.
Love,
Jennifer, Austin, Riley and Lula Lynch
Martin Scorsese pays tribute to David Lynch.
"He put images on the screen unlike anything that I or anybody else had ever seen - he made everything strange, uncanny, revelatory and new. And he was absolutely uncompromising, from start to finish. We were lucky to have had David Lynch."
