Archangel

Literally a film like no other, this strange, wild and extraordinary photoplay is both melodrama and deadpan parody. With striking black-and-white cinematography and stylized sets, Guy Maddin tells a story of love-obsession in the Russian Arctic town of Archangel, where Bolsheviks, anti-Communist Russians and German Huns converged during the First World War. From its very first images, Archangel establishes itself as a major work by an exceptional filmmaker, a bewitching, dreamlike meditation on memory, infatuation and absence.
