(2015년 제16회 전주국제영화제) 리뷰 캐나다의 아방가르드 감독 가이 매딘이 쓰고 연출한 은 끝없는 상상력의 절경을 체험하게 한다. 꿈의 미로를 헤매는 것 같은 분위기로 좌중을 압도하는 이 영화는 종잡을 수 없는 방향으로 꼬리를 물고 이어지는 이야기의 연속이다. 간단한 시놉시스로 영화를 요약한다는 것조차 불가능하다. 가이 매딘은 2009년 이후 줄곧 협력해온 젊은 예술가 에반 존슨과 공동으로 이 영화를 연출했다. 무정부주의적인 스토리, 테크니컬러에 기초한 색채 미학, 장르의 혼성으로 점철된 이 영화는 시효가 끝나버린 영화형식으로 창조해낸 완전히 새로운 미학의 결정체이다. 무성영화 시대의 캐릭터와 영화, 스타일로부터 받은 영감을 현란하게 펼쳐놓으면서 매딘은 거대한 노스탤지어의 시간을 연출한다. 낡은 카메라와 필름 조각들에 대한 페티시즘을 전면화하면서 영화는 유령과 환영의 시간으로 안내하는 미로의 체험을 선사한다. 샬롯 램플링, 제랄딘 채플린, 마티유 아말릭, 마리아 드 메데이로스 등의 익숙한 배우들이 예상치 못한 순간에 튀어나오는 의외성도 일관되어 있다.

Daughter Grace yearns for humanity in a different way: applying fake tan to get rid of her vampiric pallor, dressing in pink clothes, wishing she could feel emotion and even having a human boyfriend.
