The Saddest Music in the World

[Fiona]

Watched it last night - a sort-of musical starring Isabella Rossellini as a double-amputee beer baronness in Winnipeg during the Great Depression, who sponsors a contest to find the saddest music in the world, in hopes of driving people to drink more beer.


Brilliant movie. I adored it. Did anybody else see it?

6. When was it done?

Sounds like the kind of odd movie that might have been done in the 40's.

7. made in 2003, and released in '04

it's new, but shot in a really old style that makes it look like it's from the late 20s-early 30s.

10. Excuse me, I've been admiring your ear for the past five minutes.

I find it utterly beautiful. It is perfectly shaped. This one. The left one.
Old Man: Gasp.
Narcissa: I wonder if I could whisper something into it. Just a little story you might like. Would you mind? I won't come too close.
Old Man: I'm deaf in that ear, but, uh, I can hear just fine in the other one.
Narcissa: Hmm, no. This is the one I want. You can still feel my breath. Imagine what I'm telling you.

11. The singers are giving us a sad peak into child burial customs down Mexico

way.
The Mexican mother is being very firm with her infant.
Now go away, she wails.
You are dead!
Don't sneak in at night and nurse at my breast.
That milk is only for the living.
To Canadian ears, that may sound harsh.
Well, I guess dead children, like any other kind, have go to learn.
