A movie tip from flavorpill.com

Before David Lynch was coddled with big budgets that didn't
serve his aesthetic, he might've fashioned something as
spiky and rarified as Guy Maddin's black-and-white,
eminently diverting dirge of a movie. Heiress Lady
Port-Huntly (Lynch alumna Isabella Rossellini), wobbling
atop glass prosthetic legs churning with beer (yes, beer),
announces a global contest in which the saddest music in the
world wins $25,000. Among the droves who flock to her home
base of wintry, Depression-era Winnipeg are weeping
mariachis, wailing bagpipers, an amnesiac siren with a
talking tapeworm, and a scapegrace Broadway producer,
Chester Kent, Port-Huntly's no-good ex. Complete with
sparkly snow and a rough-hewn flamboyance, The Saddest Music
in the World may be the most original movie released since
Being John Malkovich surprised us all. (LR)
