The Saddest Music in the World Summary The Dark Days Of The Depression Set The Stage For Surreal Black Comedy In This "intoxicating" (time) Musical Melodrama From Acclaimed Director Guy Maddin. When A Legless Beer Baroness (isabella Rossellini) In Winnipeg Announces A Contest To Find The World's Saddest Tune, A Pint Of Trouble Brews Among A Fractured Family Competing For The $25,000 Prize. As The Disturbing Depths Of The Linksbetween Each Other, The Baroness And An Amnesiac Nymphomaniac Are Exposed, One Thing Becomes Clear:it Will Take More Than A Pool Of Alcohol To Drown Their Sorrows!

Only the mind of Guy Maddin could conjure up The Saddest Music in the World, in which a double-amputee beer baroness invites musicians of all nations to compete in a grand music competition... in Winnipeg. The only thing zanier than the plot is Maddin's style, which makes the film look like a lost artifact from the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari era, a jumble of Expressionist compositions and gauzy focus. It helps if you're already a fan of the director of Careful and Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary, for this is not Maddin's most cohesive picture. Kids in the Hall stalwart Mark McKinney is a little too arch as a sharpie returning to Manitoba, but Isabella Rossellini is delicious as the "Beer Queen of the Prairie." By the time she straps on a pair of hollow glass legs filled with bubbly lager, you're either delighted by this movie or you've given up. --Robert Horton
