Filmmaker Matthew Rankin crafts a rich and unique cinematic work, influenced notably by silent film, animation, experimental techniques, and Canadian history. Employing various artistic techniques including stop motion, hand-painted film, and scratching, Rankin develops a bricolage aesthetic, in the noble sense of the term, with talent and imagination. Abundantly awarded, this quirky biographical fiction emerges as a kind of psychedelic rendition of Canadian's Heritage Minutes, with striking visual beauty and surprising narrative poetry.
