There are few weirdos better than a Canadian-film-director weirdo. Americans know David Cronenberg as the most visceral of Canuck oddballs, but what do we know about beloved cult director Guy Maddin? Did you know he’s like a knight or something in Manitoba, thanks to his films Archangel, My Winnipeg, and The Forbidden Room? But while Maddin makes strange, whimsical melodramas, he’s not so great at setting up interview appointments. (We’re still waiting for your call, Guy.) Luckily, you can conduct your own interview with Winnipeg’s wizard of wackadoodle when he comes to town for a Q&A and screening of 2003’s The Saddest Music in the World, part of the Mississippi Records Music and Film Series at the Hollywood.
