Guided by the spirit of “The Cuadecuc Manifesto” (coined by co-director Evan Johnson and inspired by Pere Portabella’s 1970 experimental cult documentary, Cuadecuc, vampir), Bring Me the Head of Tim Horton is a strange, stirring behind-the-scenes look at Paul Gross’s new feature, Hyena Road. Shot on location at CFB Shilo near Brandon, Manitoba, and in Aqaba, Jordan, the film mixes deep contrast black-and-white expressionism with wry and raw western revisionism reminiscent of Sam Peckinpah, as it summons unwieldy, psychedelic energy from the main event.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

I've heard it said that there are only seven or eight stories, all retold in various forms. I was always skeptical of that notion, but with Bring Me the Head of Tim Horton, Guy Maddin proves the theory dead wrong, just like he's done countless times before. And this one is as original as they come!Purported to be a behind the scenes look at the making of another film, Hyena Road, this is anything but. Sure, the filmmakers were no doubt shooting footage of the making of that film, but it is edited together and narrated in such a way that only Guy Maddin could get away with. It's fun and hilarious, much like his masterpiece My Winnipeg, though on a smaller scale and often times in different ways. It still has that old Guy Maddin flavor to it, but it's nonetheless a unique work that stand all on its own.Despite the fact that this film is readily available online, I put off watching it for quite some time, as the description of it didn't interest me and also because I had been bored by some of Maddin's other shorts that I'd seen in the past, although I still consider him to be one of my favorite filmmakers. But once I started it I loved it. It was so much better than I could have imagined. It never got boring and it never had the chance. It's only half an hour long, so there's really no reason not to watch it. I only wish I had put of watching it for even longer, so that I could go and watch it for the first time!
