This film had me entranced for its entire duration and I found it both intellectually and artistically very challenging and refreshingly innovative in a number of ways: its amazing and energetic use of images, its seemless blending of archive and new film in black and white, the hypnotic and rythmic combination of acoustics, voices and music, the energy and pace of images and stark yet versatile use of characters, its use of interfaces, the historical flashbacks and linking and the slow personal revelations of the narrator. But most of all, it is something highly Canadian, intensely personal and such psychological, emotional and cultural complexity is actually realised in a dynamic and exciting visual and acoustic journey that makes the viewer feel, hear, see and experience so many wonderful things in the narrator's mind. I loved it.

when you transgender a documentary. Grammatically, 'transgender' isn't a verb, but then My Winnipeg isn't technically a documentary. It is sui generis. Not really, since it fits in with the rest of Guy Maddin's stuff. So is My Winnipeg a plaintive cry from the heart for a lost innocence? Or is the last shout before leaving town for Southern California? Both.
Enjoy it. If you can obtain it. It's hard to get in the States. Thank you Canadian relatives. Your health care system is less insane than in the U.S. But Guy Maddin is more insane than Michael Moore. Are you winning on both counts?

Amazing! This docu-fantasia, auto-documentary perfectly captures the subconscious of it's director/subject in all it's poetry. Time, place, memory, and submerged desire meld into a rich cinematically original experience requiring a different interpretive strategy as it defies genre classification. Poetic, hilarious, and truly genius, I highly recommended this film.
