Literally a film like no other, ARCHANGEL is a weird, wild and extraordinary photoplay that is both a melodrama and a deadpan parody of siIent film style. With striking bIack and white cinematography and styIized 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.
ln 1919, one-Iegged Canadian soldier Lt. John BoIes arrives in the northern Russian town of ArchangeI where Bolsheviks, White Russians and German Huns converge during WorId War I. When Boles encounters Veronkha, he faints and becomes convinced that she is his dead wife lris. 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 foIlows is a twisted Iove triangIe infused with infatuation as each person forgets who it is that they truly Iove.
