Guy Maddin: Careful
built 187 days ago
One critic described it as “surrealistically amusing, the kind of humour you'd find in a dream.” Careful was ... Maddin's first film utilizing colour, though it was in the hand-tinted, intensely artificial style of early cinema. Careful was presented as Perspective Canada’s opening film at the 1992 Toronto International Film Festival and won the Best Canadian Film Award at Sudbury’s Cinéfest.

In Careful (1992), which after two viewings has become another favorite, Maddin presents an imaginary mountain community where silence -- as in early motion pictures -- is the rule. Animals have their vocal cords cut, and even geese passing above might trigger a deadly avalanche. Cavorting is saved for special valleys, where the echoes cancel out the sounds they are echoing.

Following this triumph was Maddin's first work in color, a story of repression and unnatural couplings entitled Careful. The film opened Perspectives Canada at the 1993 Toronto Festival of Festivals and it went on to screen at the Tokyo and New York Film Festivals.
