Twilight of the Ice Nymphs
(1997)
Love! Betrayal! Shelley Duvall! Cross-dressing! Artificial insemination! Hymeneal blood (correction: turns out to be deceptively displayed pig's blood)! Petrophilia! Ostriches! Arboreal cataloguing! Frank Gorshin! And all in living (sort of) color!
God help me, I loves me some Guy Maddin. Though I would say that at 91 minutes, this one could probably have profited from another 10 minutes' worth of trimming; Maddinesque weirdness works best in 70-80-minute doses, I think. Coming later this weekend: Archangel, on the same disc, and My Winnipeg, during Saturday's M4.
