Are you asleep?
Just when you thought you had seen the worst of the worst...the worst film comes along.
Guy Maddin's films are either hit or miss. This, wow, is so bizarre...in that...what a total waste of time and money. Reinterpreting Alfred Hitchock's Vertigo [why?]...through clips of American TV shows and films [all set in San Francisco]. What a pointless Herculean task!
Are you asleep?
Although tried...but, impossible due to the manic, ear-splitting soundtrack. But, all is not a complete waste of time...there is a quick little scene with Michael Douglas telling himself he ought to consider a career in showbusiness, it got a few laughs!
The experimentalists will love it. Editors will marvel at the amount of work that went into it...the hoi polloi will just be bamboozled.

The interpretation of the Alfred Hitchcock classic Vertigo, pieced together using footage from old films and television shows shot in and around the San Francisco area.
