Synopsis: Men in a sinking submarine look afraid .When they find aman coming into the submarine, they express their fears. Step by step we follow the chain of characters and fears.
Review: I wanted to watch this movie because Guy Maddin is a very particular director that I first watched in my Parisian times and like since then (The saddest music in the world, Brand upon the brain). As often in his movies, Guy Maddin tells a story extremely strange, full of mystery full of symbols reflecting the conscience or psychology of the characters but not only. Here we jump from story to story via the names the people know and possibly what they remember from their stories.  Guy Maddin uses black and white or sepia colours. With his so personal, mysterious cuts he elaborates an atmosphere where everything looks mysterious, suspect and interesting as well. The selection of actors is amazing. Many characters fits perfectly to the feelings theygive, especially via their facial expression. At the end of the movie, I could not say what it was about, but I had a very special experience that I would recommend to anyone.
