'It's a real orgy of discontinuity': Guy Maddin on The Green Fog, a reimagining of Hitchcock's Vertigo
The Canadian filmmaker sheds light on his latest project, and explains why he reimagined Vertigo with archival TV and film footage.
Renowned Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin sheds light on his latest project The Green Fog. The film is a reimagining of the Hitchcock classic Vertigo, made entirely from archival TV and film footage shot in San Francisco that Maddin searched out. The scenes in The Green Fog often have little to no dialogue and just consist of gestures.
Maddin tells Tom Power why he wanted to recreate Vertigo, and why in this manner.
A selection of artifacts from the Film Reference Library's Guy Maddin Archive will be on display March 16 to 23 at TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, Ont.
