Quotes:
Dr. Issac Solti: Someday, she may shock you, as she did me with the tale of her parents. Her father never met her mother - he was hanged before he had the opportunity. A twisted man of science called Heisler collected the sperm that Julianna's proud papa ejaculated on the gallows when his windpipe snapped. And soon after, Heisler artificially inseminated a hardened prostitute named Vilma, who was apparently willing to try anything once. moreFAQ

I have a real soft spot for this strange little gem. It is garish, lush, stilted and artificial, with moments of heartbreaking beauty. It hearkens back to the grandeur of Hollywood of old, and yet is alive with a sort of mischevious irony, and a perverse love of the heavy handed gesture. All the actors do serviceable work, but my particular favourite is Alice Kreig's Zephyr. That woman is just remarkably charismatic, and her voice....my stars.
This is fairly typical of Guy Maddin's bizzarre and wonderful work. Same sense of humour, same painstakingly textured(and hopelessly unnatural) sound editing, and same passionate love affair with the cinematic conventions of yesteryear. If you like this, Careful, Archangel, and Tales of the Gimli Hospital might be to your taste as well.
Easily the finest movie I've ever seen about mesmerism and ostrich farming. 9/10.
