Careful

Streaming video - 1992

Guy Maddin’s early masterpiece takes place in a 19th-century Alpine village where the wary residents —adult, child and animal!—must speak softly and tread lightly lest they cause an avalanche. But sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles and quadrangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid, luminescent tints, CAREFUL resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet—something that could only emerge from the singular mind of Maddin. Winner of the Best Canadian Film Award at the **Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival.** Official Selection at the **New York Film Festival.** *"...like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension - a strange artifact that... time forgot." - Hal Hinson, **Washington Post***
