Film

'My Winnipeg' at SIFF Cinema at McCaw Hall

A characteristically hyperventilated outing from Guy Maddin, My Winnipeg has the added virtue of being (almost) grounded in reality. It's an ode to Maddin's hometown in which civic history gets tangled up in Oedipal reveries, and the line between fact and fiction is perpetually buried in snow. But it feels more substantial than Maddin's previous fictions: You now have some idea of what it's like to grow up itchy and feverish in a buttoned-up Canadian town. (SIFF Cinema, 321 Mercer St, www.siff.net. 7 and 8:45 pm, $10.)

While I'm sure this is fun - and funny - I'm really looking forward to the Bond Film Fest that SIFF is putting on ...

It's worth pointing out, this film actually CLOSES today. It's a fun film, truly weird, a good choice for a rainy Thursday.
