Careful

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.

"...like some lost masterpiece from a time-warped alternative dimension - a strange artifact that time forgot." - Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Wonderful
"with mountains it is different. look at the rippled wrinkles in the rock. the fearful passage of the wind is etched in the very stone. like a scream that never ends,"
this film is amazing, even by Maddin standards
