Details Limited Release: May 14, 2003; Rated: Unrated; Length: 75 Minutes; Genres: Horror, Musical; With: Tara Birtwhistle and Zhang Wei-Qiang; Distributor: Zeitgeist Films

The Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin is a modern rhapsodist of the silent-movie age. Here, however, he creates a facsimile of the herky-jerky gothic style of Nosferatu, only to wrap these gorgeous atmospherics around...a ballet film. The result is a feature-length antique-bloodsucker video, one that takes hold neither as dance nor as silent horror dream.
