Guy Maddin wrote and directed this wildly idiosyncratic look at one man revisiting his dysfunctional childhood. Guy (Erik Steffan Maahs) is a house painter who, at the urging of his aging mother (Gretchen Krich), returns to the tiny Canadian island where he grew up to put a fresh coat of paint on the lighthouse that was the family home. As Guy tries to cover the wear and tear of many years, he can't help but think back to his troubled youth; young Guy (Sullivan Brown) and his older sister (Maya Lawson) had to compete for attention with the children of the small orphanage Mother operated, while Father (Todd Jefferson Moore) spent most of his time in the basement, working on his latest invention. When a number of the orphans began displaying strange wounds on their heads, the island received a visit from Wendy Hale (Katherine E. Scharhon), a young detective who, along with her brother Chase, had become famous as "the Lightbulb Kids," the heroes of a series of popular books. Guy became quite infatuated with Wendy, and when the teen crime-fighter disguised herself as her brother Chase, Sis developed a powerful attraction to the "young man." As angry orphan Savage Tom (Andrew Loviska) leads a revolt of the youngsters, Chase and the Maddin siblings began to uncover the terrible secret behind Mother's and Father's seemingly unrelated occupations. Shot as a silent film, Brand Upon the Brain! was initially shown as a special presentation with live musical accompaniment from an 11-piece ensemble as well as three sound effects artists and a celebrity narrator. For later screenings, a soundtrack was prepared for the film that included the original musical score and sound effects, as well as narration by Isabella Rossellini. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Brand Upon the Brain!
New Review For Movie Brand Upon the Brain!
The deliciously unhinged Guy Maddin makes films that are funny, sinister and mysterious at the same time.Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
For me it captures Maddin at his loopiest and most inspired.
John Monaghan-Detroit Free Press
Narrated by Isabella Rossellini and enhanced by Jason Staczek's superb score, this is characteristically intense and, unlike most of Maddin's silent-movie models, frenetically edited.
Jonathan Rosenbaum-Chicago Reader
No matter how much the director disguises the tale in flickery symbolism, the emotions feel painful and personal.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe
Brand Upon the Brain! is like no other movie you're likely to see this year -- or any other year. It won't be to everyone's taste. But for those who like their cinema weird, it doesn't get any weirder or more oddly fascinating than this.
Ruthe Stein-San Francisco Chronicle
... a feverishly imaginative Freudian vampire film ...
Carrie Rickey-Philadelphia Inquirer
If you are drawn to oddball films like David Lynch's Eraserhead, then you should feel at home here.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It is almost an unintended parody of the excesses of art house filmmaking - like something that would have shown up on Dan Akroyd's old Saturday Night Live vignette "Bad Cinema."
Steve Biodrowski-ESplatter
The mythic nuttiness gets under your skin just as these archetypal figures gradually penetrate each other's subterfuges, skulls, and orifices.
Bill Weber-Stylus Magazine
Visually opaque and narratively enigmatic.
Duane Dudek-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
It's weird, creepy, imaginative and unlike anything else out there.
Sean Axmaker-Seattle Post-Intelligencer
You feel like you've stumbled across a lost treasure from some studio's vaults that was meant to be buried forever.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)
This more-than-surreal feat is swimming in winks and nods to Maddin's influences. Moments of Bunuel, Hitchcock and Lang are everywhere.
Sara Maria Vizcarrondo-Boxoffice Magazine
Seeing is believing, and the clever Maddin understands a dimension of his medium that many of his contemporaries won't dare approach: with the right compelling images, anything is possible.
Matthew Sorrento-Film Threat
... an experience that has to be seen/heard to be believed.
Andy Klein-Los Angeles CityBeat
Imagery, language, and emotion can be pulled apart and put back together any way you like
Marty Mapes-Movie Habit
The film is a bizarre mess of monster movie, teen detective novel and coming of age, cross-gendered romance film....one I am extremely pleased to have attended.
Jason Gorber-Film Scouts
exploring the phenomenon of memory with a transcendence that includes reality and fantasy with equal measure and equal importance. It is dark, it is disturbing, and yet, this is the man's genius, it is also wildly, improbably, blessedly funny
Andrea Chase-Killer Movie Reviews
The casual viewer may well reject the experimentalism outright, but for those who seek more unique rewards, they're definitely here.
Luke Y. Thompson-New Times
It's all pretty amusing, and Maddin never runs short on ideas, neither narrative nor visual.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid
