Known for his autobiographical tales---hidden deeply within comical, absurd, and surrealistic narratives---Maddin has earned international acclaim, including a lifetime achievement award at the Telluride Film Festival at the age of thirty-nine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePossessing a deep knowledge of silent cinema, modernist artists, and novelists, Maddin's seemingly amateurish visual style and unusual subjects (patriphagia in \u003cem\u003eThe Dead Father\u003c\/em\u003e, incest in \u003cem\u003eCareful\u003c\/em\u003e) obscure the surprisingly literate sources for his films. These include novelists Knut Hamsun (\u003cem\u003eTwilight of the Ice Nymphs\u003c\/em\u003e) and Kazuo Ishiguro (\u003cem\u003eThe Saddest Music in the World\u003c\/em\u003e), the Royal Winnipeg Ballet (\u003cem\u003eDracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary\u003c\/em\u003e), and the films of Erich von Stroheim (\u003cem\u003eArchangel\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGuy Maddin: Interviews\u003c\/em\u003e collects pieces published between 1990 and 2009 and offers the reader a whirlwind tour of Maddin's offbeat career in his own words, as solicited by a range of journalists, scholars, and fellow filmmakers. Maddin is a charming, erudite, and candid conversationalist who is frank about his own perceived drawbacks, his good fortune, and the often high art culture that motivates his cinematic explorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
