Isabella Rossellini stars as a beer baroness who, at the height of the Great Depression, sponsors a contest to find the world's saddest tune in this darkly comic, "beguiling and hallucinatory musical" (The New York Times).

Filmmaker Guy Maddin has been described as "the Canadian David Lynch" for his surreal, visceral films. His unique vision has gained both critical admiration and an impressive cult following for his many shorts and such feature-length films as Tales from the Gimli Hospital, The Saddest Music in the World, and Dracula, Tales from a Virgin's Diary.

"To see this film, to enter the world of Guy Maddin, is to understand how a film can be created entirely by its style, and how its style can create a world that never existed before, and lure us, at first bemused and then astonished, into it." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times.

The Facets Films Series is Sponsored by The Sundance Channel.
