Metro Cinema Society: Archangel

Archangel

with an Introduction by William Beard

Canada 1990, 90 min, Beta SP, Dir: Guy Maddin

William Beard, Director of Film Studies at the University of Alberta, will be giving a series of lectures on Guy Maddin. Metro Cinema is pleased to bring Prof Beard in to the cinema to talk about Maddin, and screen selections from his films. A screening of Archangel will follow Beard's talk. Archangel, Guy Maddin's weird, wild melodrama of obsessive love is set in the northernmost tip of old Imperial Russia in the winter of 1919. The Great War has been over for three months, but no one has remembered to tell those who remain in the town of Archangel. Maddin's stunning black and white cinematography and memorably stylized set design make this a film quite unlike any other.
