Episode 54 - Canada vs. America
This week's programming is all about controversy. On the polite side of that coin, we have Nanette Burstein's new documentary feature American Teen, which has been assailed by many critics as being an MTV-style pseudo-documentary, complete with careful editing choices and subject coaching. Meanwhile, Canada's own Guy Maddin continues to work in his own strange little realm, releasing the strongly autobiographical art film My Winnipeg, which has been kicking around in festivals for quite some time but has only recently seen theatrical release in some places. When reality and artifice collide, which films will survive?
