Product Description

The third feature from visionary Canadian auteur Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg, Brand upon the Brain!) takes place in a 19th-century mountain village where the wary residents must tread carefully and speak softly lest they cause an avalanche. Sexual frenzies teem in this world of repression, setting off incestuous love triangles with deadly consequences. Bathed in lurid tints that are more stunning than ever in Zeitgeist's new Hi-Def master, Careful resembles a vintage melodrama from another planet that could only come from the singular mind of Guy Maddin. Zeitgeist continues its 20th anniversary celebration with this beautiful new "Remastered and Repressed" Edition of a cult classic.
