Guided by the spirit of “The Cuadecuc Manifesto” (coined by co-director Evan Johnson and inspired by Pere Portabella’s 1970 experimental cult documentary, Cuadecuc, vampir), Bring Me the Head of Tim Horton is a strange, stirring behind-the-scenes look at Paul Gross’s new feature, Hyena Road. Shot on location at CFB Shilo near Brandon, Manitoba, and in Aqaba, Jordan, the film mixes deep contrast black-and-white expressionism with wry and raw western revisionism reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah, as it summons unwieldy, psychedelic energy from the main event.

A Guy lo invita su madre a pintar el faro de la isla Black Notch, donde se encuentra el orfanato en que se crió hace treinta años. Es la primera vez que vuelve a este lugar tan lleno de recuerdos para él: su hermana adolescente, su mojigata madre, su padre científico y su propia juventud carente de estímulos; un caleidoscopio de imágenes memorables: un aquelarre en el pantano, la misteriosa marca de nacimiento de su madre, códigos y lugares de encuentro secretos. Además hay dos detectives que tratan de esclarecer la causa de las heridas sufridas en la cabeza por los antiguos cuidadores de los enigmáticos y malévolos padres de Guy.

Sailors in repose on an island paradise seemingly have no worries of war or danger — until a playful gesture is interpreted as an act of wilful aggression. Soon, the innocent act of slight slapping becomes a relentless and unforgiving orgy of open-palmed face-smacking.

A festival is a concentration of hope. Audiences hungering for something startingly new, famously familiar or just plain "good". Actors hoping their well-conceived sincerity and ritual entrances have that special glow. Press and critics poised to love or hate lucidly. And proud, desperate filmmakers looking for that little blessing on their latest self-projection. All squeezing together for a few days, in a few rooms wondering whether this will truly be the perfect place at the perfect time. Of course, it rarely is. Mostly it's just a collection of almosts. Delicious, shared almosts.

Parece que, desgraciadamente, el fin del mundo se va a producir en la medianoche del 31 de Diciembre de 1999. Dos meses antes, cuando la noticia se hizo pública, cundió el pánico y la confusión; pero poco a poco, el terror se ha ido transformando en resignación, y la gente se esfuerza por tener un final perfecto. Es importante saber dónde y con quién estará uno cuando se acerque la hora cero. (FILMAFFINITY)
