Cowards Bend the Knee
Canada 2003, 64 min, Dir: Guy Maddin

Adapted from a ten-part peephole installation, Cowards Bend the Knee is "jam-packed with enough kinetically photographed action to seem like a never-ending cliffhanger... Set in a shadow-suffused hockey arena and a Mabuse-like beauty salon-slash-abortion clinic, the plot drips with Grecian formula, as sordid family secrets spawn unintentional murder most foul." (Mark Peranson)


Part of our Guy Maddin Retrospective.

Special Events!
Please Note:
Citadel renovations are ongoing, so Metro Cinema continues to screen in the Rice Theatre, just down the hall from our normal room. Until we return to the Zeidler, screenings will continue to be from video, and not from 35mm.
Also, all Silver Screen passes are good for 3 months past their normal date of expiry, to thank you for your patience.
