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)
