We have here film and DVD reviews; articles; screenplays for produced and unproduced short films; journal excerpts and miscellaneous bits; all as funny and eccentric as one would expect from the director of "Tales from the Gimli Hospital." (None of this duplicates the material in his "Cowards Bend the Knee" book; although there is some illuminating insight into the genesis of that project.) All of these pieces are fun in different ways (although some parts of the journal comically disheartening--even a famous director cant always get financing or; for that matter; get laid). Lots of pictures in this book; including film stills; production shots and storyboards; and nice design--"Anna" from "Heart of the World" peeking through a die-cut hole in the cover.This book may be educational for the uninitiated (especially the reviews); but probably not the best introduction to Maddins work (for which see "Kino Delirium"). But; for those who enjoy Maddins films; this book is great fun all around.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. MADDIN AS ANODYNE.By R. C. RoesbergMaddin starts his autobiographical tour with a movie dream list that announces his taste is far from the contemporary mainstream. Journal entries provide a multifaceted portrait of the filmmaker via indelible childhood memories; plentiful enthusiasms; and unstinting self-evaluation. His journalism and film treatments expand the picture. I keep picking up this collection for pleasurable re-reading; and jotting down movie and book titles he mentions. If youre weary from too many books by Hollywood insiders; this is the perfect anodyne.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Bought it for a giftBy Customer and SpouseThe gift was appreciated by our son. The book was properly packaged and was delivered in time for the holidays. I havent read this; but our son says it is a good book.
