The Saddest Music in the World
Canada 2003, 100 min, 35mm, Dir: Guy Maddin

Set in Winnipeg during the Great Depression, Saddest Music is a comic musical about a competition announced by a beer magnate to find the saddest piece of music in the world. Musicians from across the world come to Winnipeg to try their luck in the competition, but the contest eventually boils down to a battle within one family: a patriotic Canadian father and his expatriate sons, one of whom represents the United States, the other Serbia. Starring Isabella Rosellini and Mark McKinney.
