He doubts it'll be ready for Toronto, but maybe NYFF.

Interesting film discussed, but when did 5-25-77 have anything to do with Guy Maddin?

Thanks Casuistry ... I'm rather appalled at the very idea of that other film. UNCLE!

seven months pass...
Mega-long Maddin interview:

"I’m really hoping that (The Brand Upon the Brain) plays at the Toronto International Film Festival with a live orchestra and two live foley sound effects people also working in the orchestra pit or on either side of the stage, supplying footstep sound effects or smashing glass or foghorns—things that the orchestra can’t do. I really wanted to have music and effects, and I think it would be charming. I think it would be kind of fun peeking down from the movie every now and then to watch them—and if you hate the movie, you can at least watch the foley artists. They’re fascinating people to watch—the big, burly, hairy guy putting on a pair of women’s pumps, getting in anticipation of the staircase a woman will have to climb in the upcoming scene. That might add elements of suspense, mystery, and intrigue that aren’t otherwise in the movie! So that’s my dream and I’m cautiously optimistic that my dream will come true."

one year passes...

who else has seen (still running Fridays in NY)

Dr Morbius, Friday, 13 July 2007 13:45 (eighteen years ago)

I have!! It was amazing.

Stevie D, Tuesday, 17 July 2007 19:30 (eighteen years ago)

I have too.

Casuistry, Thursday, 19 July 2007 03:55 (eighteen years ago)

I saw it. The foley performance stuff was great, the movie itself made no impression on me.

I don't get that. I'd think it'd annoy the hell out of anyone who didn't like his frantic montage-crazed momism.

Dr Morbius, Thursday, 19 July 2007 19:31 (eighteen years ago)

I like Madden a lot! Brand just seemed perfunctory, like a "Guy Maddin movie" rather than an actual Guy Maddin movie.
