Plot Synopsis
Winding its way though the birthplace of personal mythologies, attempting to understand the nature of memory. Equal parts mystical rumination and personal history, city chronicle and deranged post-Freudian proletarian fantasy, My Winnipeg blends local myth with childhood trauma. All narrated by Maddin’s usual entertaining and inspired energy. Commissioned by Michael Burns whose command was ‘enchant me with your treatment’ this was Maddin’s cue to set about exploring the spell of his home town. By mixing animation, archive and re-enactments he has created an extraordinary visual homage in true individual Guy Maddin style.
