The Saddest Music in the World Dir.Guy Maddin Canada 2004  Guy Maddin makes his most accessible film to date without losing any of his absurdist sensibility. The setting is the depths of the depression era in wintery Winnipeg, Canada. Lady Port-Huntly (Isabella Rossellini), is a power hungry glamourpuss and a double amputee whose prosthetic limbs are filled with beer. In order to boost business at her brewery she decides to hold a competition to find the country with the saddest music in the world. Among the contestants is Chester Kent (Mark McKinney) a failed Broadway producer who could really use the $25,000 prize, and his nymphomaniac, amnesiac girlfriend. Beautifully filmed in flickering black and white, Maddin's signature style, which pays tribute to silent films, screwball comedies and Busby Berkely musicals, is the perfect platform for this hilarious satire.
