Cult Favorites - Cowards Bend the Knee (DVD)

Cowards Bend the Knee (DVD)

From the director of Dracula and The Saddest Music In The World

Adapted from a ten-part peephole installation, Cowards Bend the Knee is jam-packed with enough kinetically photographed action to seem like a never-ending cliffhanger. In this twisted and poisoned wish fulfillment, the mythomaniacal Maddin casts "himself" (actually, Darcy Fehr) as a hockey sniper made lily-livered by mother and daughter femme fatales, and resurrects his father as the team’s radio broadcaster and his own romantic antagonist. Set in a shadow-suffused hockey arena and a Mabuse-like beauty salon/abortion clinic, the plot drips with Grecian formula, as sordid family secrets spawn unintentional murder most foul.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
• Audio commentary by Guy Maddin
• Love-Chaunt Workbooks: Four short-film blueprints from a lost Maddin feature, plus audition reels
• Behind-the-scenes look at Maddin's new feature-and Cowards companion piece-The Brand upon the Brain!
• Cowards photo archive: Production photos, plus vintage beauty shop and hockey shots from Maddin's personal collection
• Watch the film as a whole, or as 10 individual short films
• Plus: Artistic statement, character sketches, missing chapter script excerpt and the essay" A Note on Hands"
