NO. 5
The Heart of the World is a short film written and directed by Guy Maddin, produced for the 2000 Toronto International Film Festival.
A fairly recent (2000) film, despite the cinematography, it averages 2 frames per second, and pays homage to the old silent movies with their black and white cinematography, lack of dialogue and grainy quality.
I loved the music, and the anticipation of it all. It captured my attention, even if it was a little confusing at times. I loved the old time-y feel, and for some reason it reminded me of Van Helsing, the first seen where they are hunting Frankenstein. (I really like that film)

Madding is pure genius. It's a shame he's not better known, yet of course, it's the prize you have to pay to stay true to such a style.
He has other films such as:
1) The Saddest Music in the World 2) My Winnipeg 3) Cowards Bend the Knee.

also there is rumor of a new film coming out soon.
Perhaps I shall review it.
