This semi-silent, quasi-expressionist little number would make Guy Maddin (CAREFUL, HEART OF THE WORLD) proud to know he has an American friend in Mister Teague. David Lynch would also probably approve; this is definitely to be filed in the same cobwebbed compartment as ERASERHEAD. German silent imagery ala CALIGARI mixes perfectly with the depressing yet oddly beautiful "grass through the crumbling cracks" environment of Red Hook, Brooklyn, where much of the film was shot. The acting is all fantastic; Jean Brassard especially, displays uncanny mastery of the "Expressionist School." Producer Kyle McCabe has a hilarious cameo as a (possibly robotic?) guest at the surreal dance ball. Kristina Fleming, Christy Pope, and Sandra Lupien (as a Lynchian torch singer) are all gorgeous and in exhibit peerless mastery of the long lost acting style their roles demand. Great make-up by Lawrence Ferber! It's the movie that Herk Harvey's CARNIVAL OF SOULS ghost-people might have made after they finally went home from Coney Island.
