“For my entire life,” says Guy Maddin in a Metrograph Journal conversation, “I felt Winnipeg was a big donut hole in the center of the continent, that all the Hollywood films and TV shows that I grew up watching did not acknowledge its existence.” In this self-described “docu-fantasia,” he corrects the ledger with a fictionalized version of himself (voiced by Maddin and played by Darcy Fehr) endeavoring to finally escape the shackles of his hometown by staging recreations of his childhood memories in the real home where he grew up. Along the way, he encounters somnambulists, spiritual cranks and a stampede of buffalo in this part-autobiography, part-history lecture—and wholly deranged diary of a madcap auteur.
