Tales From The Gimli Hospital Redux - Tales From The Gimli Hospital Redux - Blu-ray

A truly surreal exercise from Canada's Guy Maddin, this eerie film is set in a remote Manitoba community. Two children, visiting their ailing mother in the hospital, are relayed the story (told mostly sans dialogue) of an early-1900s smallpox outbreak and the strange rivalry between two men quarantined in the same building. Shadowy visuals and religious imagery make for a disturbing drama. Kyle McCulloch and Michael Gottli star. "Redux" version remastered by Maddin includes a long-lost scene; 64 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo; audio commentary by Maddin; theatrical trailer.
