Part expressionistic city symphony film, part mischievous autobiographical reminisce, Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg (2007) served as something of a culmination of much of his work this decade. Like the mock memoir Cowards Bend the Knee (2003) and the teen detective Guignol sex-romp Brand Upon the Brain! (2006), My Winnipeg continued Maddin's turn inside, towards a pointed mythologizing of the self. Maddin's portrait of his heavily psychologised relationship to his Manitoba hometown brought him a torrent of critical acclaim--awards at the TIFF appearances on year-end best of lists, etc.--making it his most commercially viable film since 2003's The Saddest Music in the World.
