The Saddest Music in the World.2.


A comic musical about the collective expression of grief. Fittingly, and in keeping with uber-imaginative director Guy Maddin's obsession, it is set in an absurdist version of the melodramatic world of early cinema. Isabella Rosellini plays a beer magnate (whose false legs are glass and full of beer) who holds an international competition in depression era Winnipeg to find the saddest music in the world.

Starring: Isabella Rossellini, Maria de Medeiros, Mark McKinney, David Fox, Ross McMillan

BBC Review - 4 Stars out of 5

"Ripping up today's movie-making conventions, cult Canadian director Guy Maddin raids cinema's often forgotten past to conjure up deliriously eccentric offering The Saddest Music In The World."



The film will be followed by Smiths Disco and very special cocktails!
