Equal parts German Expressionism and Russian Agit-prop, Heart of the World is a six minute epic of Biblical proportions.
Maddin's usual idiosyncrasies resurface - Scandinavian Love triangle Melodrama amidst impending social catastrophe.
Being from the Tarkovskian school of thought, an ASL (average shot length) of under 2 seconds would normally be scoffed at, but an exception will have to be made in this case, as the rapid-cutting is truly elevated to an art form here.
The music is appropriately over-the-top and compliments the film perfectly.
One of the wittiest, most inventive short films ever.
