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)
