“This haunting phantasmagoria of a film—comic, singular, surreal—is not only something no one but the Canadian director could have made, it’s also a film no one else would have even wanted to make. Which is the heart of its appeal.

It’s part and parcel of the unexpected charm of “My Winnipeg” that it is all but impossible to tell which of these things is real and which is the product of Maddin’s eccentric imagination. The director, however, is so adept at weaving his spell, you don’t even care. “My Winnipeg” is a film to give yourself to, with pleasure.”

And IFC First Take described it as a “...deliriously layered provocation,” “outrageous, informative and wildly entertaining.”

On Jan 15, you can see for yourself when 92YTribeca screens the film, part of the Guy Maddin film series. Before the film, you can stop by the cafe and get yourself an espresso and home made bread pudding, or any of the other delightful dishes made in the cafe. It’s a lot better than popcorn and gummi bears.
