Son œuvre, éclairée par les mouvements expressionnistes, formée à l’art de la danse, rythmée par celui du collage, colorée d’un kitsch chatoyant, déploie ses influences à foison. Maddin revient toujours à l’essence de l’art cinématographique, à ses récits mythiques au long cours, en même temps qu’à la façon dont la pellicule imprime et surimprime nos fantasmes fondateurs les plus intimes, avec un talent d’alchimiste. -

Guy Maddin’S Body of Work
The ghosts of cinema loom large in Guy Maddin’s body of work. Hauntings is a series of very short films. For years, he has been collecting tales of unrealized, half-finished or abandoned films, potential masterworks doomed to oblivion as they slipped out of their creators’ control. This impulse rhymes remarkably well with Maddin’s thematic obsession with regret and the perils of wild abandon found in both his film and installation works. Noah Cowan Cinema is a haunted medium, a projection of people, places and things not really present. As we know a film can summon before our eyes, like ghosts invoked from the beyond, performances from the past, performances by actors no longer with us, in settings changed forever. But when a movie is lost, as so many great works © Jody Shapiro from the medium’s earliest years are, it’s a double haunting, for a misplaced film is an artwork consigned to limbo, a narrative with Guy Maddin no known final resting place. Guy Maddin Hauntings I (Fragments) / Hauntings II (Berlin) Hauntings I (Fragments) were originally part of Hauntings I, a large-scale projection work, commissioned by TIFF (the parent Die Geister des Kinos scheinen groß aus Guy Maddins Werk hervor. organization of the Toronto International Film Festival) for the Hauntings ist eine Serie von sehr kurzen Filmen.

MPAA RATING: R http://keyholemovie.com/ 2 Keyhole Production Notes “I’m only a ghost, but a ghost isn’t nothing.” Keyhole is a rousing 1930s gangster picture set in a haunted house. It is a ghost sonata in which dream and waking life are seamlessly blended to isolate and expose universal feelings. SYNOPSIS A gangster and deadbeat father, Ulysses Pick (Jason Patric), returns home after a long absence. He arrives, toting two teenagers: a drowned girl, Denny (Brooke Palsson), who has mysteriously returned to life; and a bound-and- gagged hostage, who is actually his own teenage son, Manners (David Wontner). Confused, Ulysses doesn't recognize his own son, but he feels with increasing conviction he must make an indoor odyssey from the back door of his home all the way up, one room at a time, to the marriage bedroom where his wife Hyacinth (Isabella Rossellini) awaits, full of cancer, grieving over the deaths of her three other children, and wooed by Ulysses' arch-rival, Chang (Johnny Chang). The house is haunted by countless dead relatives. As in Homer's Odyssey, Ulysses reaches his goal and vanquishes his enemy, but the equilibrium of the house has been disturbed. -
