# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Surreal cult comedy THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD (2003)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 29 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: “Hilariously odd and prodigiously inventive, it springs from the eccentric mind of Guy Maddin, whose delirious visions have earned this singular Canadian filmmaker an international cult following.” – Newsweek

Only the mind of Guy Maddin could conjure up THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD, in which a double-amputee beer baroness who wears aquarium legs filled with ale (Isabella Rossellini) invites musicians of all nations to compete in a grand competition to find the world’s most sorrowful tune. And if all that weren’t weird enough for you, the film also packs in sleepwalkers, nymphomaniacs, a talking tapeworm, and hockey teams who break into spontaneous serenades. The only thing zanier than the plot is Maddin’s style, a delirious jumble of silent-film Expressionism, pre-Code-era camp, and a surreally comic tone all Maddin’s own. Kids in the Hall star Mark McKinney is hilarious as the fast-talking swindler representing America, while Isabella Rossellini is truly delicious as the “Beer Queen of the Prairie.” Criminally underseen since it’s initial release, THE SADDEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD is a true gem for lovers of the wonderfully outlandish and hilariously bizarre.
