CGiii Comment
Words fail...yet, he keeps on making inaccessible cow-crap.
Even with a decent cast, Maddin manages to flounder in mediocrity - it has all the invention and imagination of a film school student - who, persistently and tiresomely, tries to prove his worth.
As an addition to the surreal genre - it will please the surrealists - but, let's face it, anyone can do surreal...those who manage to sell it are brilliant...sales people.

The(ir) Blurb...
In a house haunted with memories, gangster and father Ulysses Pick (Jason Patric) arrives home after a long absence towing the body of a teenaged girl and a bound and gagged young man. His gang waits inside his house, having shot their way past police. There is friction in the ranks. Ulysses, however, is focused on one thing: journeying through the house, room by room, and reaching his wife Hyacinth (Isabella Rossellini) in her bedroom upstairs. His odyssey eventually becomes an emotional tour, as the strange nooks and crannies of the house reveal more about the mysterious Pick family.
