Guy Maddin’s surreal and visually striking sophomore film ARCHANGEL is revitalized with a stunning new 4K transfer from the original negative supervised by the director with the generous support of Telefilm Canada. Literally a film like no other, this weird, wild and extraordinary photoplay is both melodrama and deadpan parody. An amnesiac soldier, seeking his lost love, arrives in Archangel in northern Russia to help the townsfolk in their fight against the Bolsheviks, all quite unaware that the Great War ended three months ago. (Guy Maddin, 1990, Canada, 1:30, NR)
