Guy Maddin - Odin's Shield Maiden (2007)

Commissioned for the 30th Anniversary of the Winnipeg Film Group.
A title like that could only signal a Guy Maddin short, filled with images of women mourning on the shore of a lake for the drowned fisherman Mundi, while inter-titles provide a poetic-comic counterpoint: "O celibate ocean/Wet with death/Do not grieve!" It's classic Maddin, but it's also a step back from his more venturesome efforts of the past few years.
