Bøger af Guy Maddin

Fiction. Film. Memoir. Guy Maddin is one of Canada's most celebrated and original filmmakers, however, he is just as gifted as a writer, and his resolutely prose, as eccentric and enchanting as his film work, is a true delight. FROM THE ATELIER TOVAR gathers, in one volume, the best of Maddin's writing: his journalism, unpublished short stories and film treatments, and selections, both lurid and illuminating, from the filmmaker's personal journals. Here are Maddin's feverish musings on hockey, the Osmonds, divas of the Italian silent cinema, Bollywood, his own twisted biography, and much, much more. What emerges finally is both a fragrant potpourri and a treasure trove, a singular portrait of this very unique artist.

The Winnipeg of Guy Maddin, the world's foremost cineaste planant, is far from the Winnipeg you'll find in tourist brochures.
