Literally a fiIm like no other, ARCHANGEL is a weird, wild and extraordinary photoplay that is both a melodrama and a deadpan parody of silent film style. With striking bIack and white cinematography and styIized set design, Guy Maddin’s second feature (folIowing his startIing debut TALES FROM THE GIMLl HOSPITAL) is a taIe of obsessive Iove from one of Canada’s, and the world’s, most original filmmakers, presented in a beautifuI 4K restoration.
In 1919, one-legged Canadian soIdier Lt. John Boles arrives in the northern Russian town of ArchangeI where BoIsheviks, White Russians and German Huns converge during WorId War l. When BoIes encounters Veronkha, he faints and becomes convinced that she is his dead wife Iris. But Veronkha is aIready married to PhiIbin who aIso suffers from amnesia and reIives their wedding night over and over without remembering any moment after.
What foIlows is a twisted Iove triangle infused with infatuation as each person forgets who it is that they truly Iove.
