Keyhole (Guy Maddins new film)

Looks really good.

"Winnipeg's favourite son Guy Maddin returns with his most ambitious and startling film yet: a surreal fusion of family melodrama, film noir, Homer's Odyssey, and the Oedipally-tinged, pansexual fever dreams that are Maddin's trademark. After a long absence, gangster Ulysses Pick (Jason Patric) returns to his family home with his rebellious gang in tow. Determined to reach his wife Hyacinth (Isabella Rossellini) in her bedroom upstairs, Ulysses undertakes an absurd Homeric journey through each room of the house, hounded and hindered by bizarre obstacles, dreamlike (il)logic, the treachery of his own gang, and the phantoms of his family past. Hypnotically shot in digital black-and-white, Keyhole affirms Maddin's standing as one of Canada's most singular, brazenly original filmmakers, and adds rich and fascinating new layers to his distinctive cinematic universe.
