CAREFUL

Canada | 1992 | 35mm | 100 min.
Director: Guy Maddin
Cast: Kyle McCullough, Gosia Dobrowolska, Paul Cox
High in the Alpine village of Tolzbad, any loud noise or even strong emotion risks triggering an avalanche. Consumed by a lifetime of simmering lust and repressed rivalries, one family finally erupts into a feverish torrent of sex and violence. Designed to evoke the trembling saturation of early two-strip Technicolor, Maddin’s first color feature is an otherworldly pageant of lurid artificiality, which will be in full display on this original release 35mm print.
