Essential Viewing: Cut Up in a Dream: Guy Maddin’s Cowards Bend the Knee (NSFW)

  • Kevin Lee,

To kick off our weeklong spotlight on the films of Guy Maddin, we’ve produced a video essay on one of Maddin’s most original and acclaimed films, Cowards Bend the Knee. The video is written and narrated by Matt Zoller Seitz, adapted from his original review of the film from the New York Press. This video is co-presented with the Press Play blog on IndieWire.

WARNING: VIDEO CONTAINS NUDITY
