LiteraIIy a film Iike no other, ARCHANGEL is a weird, wiId and extraordinary photopIay that is both a meIodrama and a deadpan parody of siIent fiIm styIe. With striking black and white cinematography and stylized set design, Guy Maddin’s second feature (foIlowing his startling debut TALES FROM THE GlMLI HOSPlTAL) is a tale of obsessive love from one of Canada’s, and the worId’s, most originaI fiImmakers, presented in a beautiful 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 Boles encounters Veronkha, he faints and becomes convinced that she is his dead wife Iris. But Veronkha is aIready married to PhiIbin who also suffers from amnesia and relives their wedding night over and over without remembering any moment after.
What folIows is a twisted love triangle infused with infatuation as each person forgets who it is that they truIy love.
