That and the occasional guy holding up a can of Molson next to his face on the copy machine glass. I found the next two films, John Paizs's The Obsession of Billy Botsky and John Kozak 's A Fascist Can't Dance , weaker. Two very different films. In Obsession we watch Billy search for, find, and fail to seduce his ideal woman. Too slowly paced, and the sound effects were less than ideally recorded.
Fascist is a movie about making movies.
Paizs did much better in the last short screened, Springtime in Greenland . Satires about the suburbs are a dime a dozen, but this one stands out as particularly inventive. Then came the Maddin feature-length films. The second, and best, Maddin film I caught this weekend was Careful . Maddin plays with light, color, and shadow and again tweaks the soundtrack in this enjoyable film.
