    Manitoba fantasia  Jun 7, 2008
    " Maddin, 52, has been making films that bob up regularly at festivals since the mid-1980s. He has his own eccentric and experimental style that draws heavily on silent and early sound films. He has always embraced the bizarre. The Saddest Music In The World, for example, was a tribute to old musical melodramas with Isabella Rossellini as a Depression-era beer baroness with beer-filled glass legs in place of her amputated limbs. Brand Upon The Brain! was a black-and-white silent film with a... (Sydney Morning Herald -- Entertainment)

    This film stars Isabella Rossellini as a brewery magnate with beer-filled glass legs who holds a contest for the saddest music. The Pillow Book (1996) - For some reason, few of director Peter Greenaway's films are available on DVD.
