Twilight of the Ice
My title of my review says it all. Anything with Alice Krige is worth seeing. Yes I'm a big Madden fan , and Twilight is interesting, then boring, then interesting.

Dubbing the male leads voice adds a distance to the film, which Guy might have liked when he did it Then again, Alice Krige is in it. I may have to order a second copy just to frame. Guy should also be allowing more pics to be taken during filming. Guy has a book of film writings, journalism, and his journals out. Maddin was not going to grow and experiment.
Twilight Of The Ice Nymphs Review | Movie - Empire
A few viewings later and it's turned into a favorite. I appreciate the classic fairy-tale qualities, the cast is a hoot, and I love the dazzling over-saturated color--similar to what's used in a lot of modern TV commercials. It's really one of the most gorgeous-looking films I know of. First time I managed to get a copy I watched it about twelve times in one evening. You'll never get the musical soundtrack out of your head. I had the pleasure of first seeing "Archangel" during its theatrical release.
This is a film that's magical on the big screen. Standout moments and there are many in this movie like the bunnies in the battle trenches consistently reach the realm of the sublime. The scratchy, artificially aged soundtrack gives this film a hypnotic quality, perfect for such a dreamlike creation.
Another wonderful Maddin product that gets better and better with time. In a world where every creative decision seems to be made by lawyers, marketing drones, stockholders, Harvard MBAs, and a guy named Eisner, or, conversely, angry art-school types on illegal substances and their fellow-travelers , Guy Maddin, along with the Brothers Quay, Pixar, Jean-Pierre Jeunet, Richard Kelly Donnie Darko and a handful of others are the keepers of the flame right now.
The Heart of the World is, of course, brilliant, and oh-my-phantasmagoria is Twilight of the Ice Nymphs shaded in a brilliant hue, but both features are sprawling, profoundly literary, and undeniable fodder for the Guy Maddin detractors of the world. Archangel is a unsettling maze of an homage to the sort of arcane, windswept films I wish I were interesting enough to have seen and enjoyed.
The Heart of the World, again, is brilliant and inventively fun, manifest of the best characteristics of his work, but is also available streaming online as are many of his shorts, praise be to Guy. Packaging is sans-frills and uninspired. Worth it if you find it used or on sale for a couple bucks, assuming you're a guy Maddin fan as I. I had heard about saddest Music in the World when it was released in the theatre's. Didn't get to see it then but the review stuck in my mind. Something jogged my memory an i got it thru Netflix.
I was completely entrhalled by the whole shebang. The black an white ,the 's feel of the film itself,slightly scratchy,jumpy an sorta Little Rascals air to the music competition. So now to Twilight.. Although not quite as enthusiastic about Twilight I found Maddins take on human relations very true.
Despite the trappings of his particular take on life I found the characters reactions an motives for the most part convincing. He does get a dog, who thinks if the man can grow something, he will be like this plant. Even if it means a great Peter Glahn is released after years of incarceration as a political prisoner and is now returning to his homeland, the mythical Mandragora where the sun never sets.

On board the ship home, he meets the mysterious Juliana Kossel who vanishes after stealing his heart. Once he arrives on the island, he goes to the family ostrich farm run by his sister Amelia. He finds Amelia living with a farmhand named Cain Ball who fears that Peter's return will endanger the agreement he made with Amelia that will see him inherit the farm. Amelia has since fallen for the vain Dr. Isaac Solti who controls the island and has a hold on both Zephyr Eccles, the widow of a local fisherman, and Juliana, Peter's dream girl from the ship.
Solti's true obsession is a recently discovered statue of Venus that possesses strange powers. All the characters meet at Solti's lab where the sexual tensions erupt. This movie is really odd. A very nice lady.
After the movie ran, she walked to the front of the theater to talk about the film. The host or interviewer said 'I have a question, Shelly? All i have to say is there is a lot of beauty in the film, though it is kind of odd. It was sort of a fairy tale gone to mars or something.
