The Saddest Music in the World Summary When a legless beer baroness 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 links between themselves, the baroness and an amnesiac nymphomaniac are exposed. One thing becomes clear: it will take more than a pool of alcohol to their sorrows. Special Features , The

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
