Beard's close readings of these films illuminate, among other things, the profound ways in which Maddin's art is founded in the past - both in the cultural past, and in his personal memory.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements iii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1:\u003cem\u003e The Dead Father\u003c\/em\u003e 18\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2:\u003cem\u003e Tales from the Gimli Hospital \u003c\/em\u003e31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: \u003cem\u003eArchangel \u003c\/em\u003e66\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: \u003cem\u003eCareful \u003c\/em\u003e122\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: \u003cem\u003eTwilight of the Ice Nymphs \u003c\/em\u003e181\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: \u003cem\u003eDracula—Pages from a Virgin's Diary \u003c\/em\u003e232\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7:\u003cem\u003e Cowards Bend the Knee \u003c\/em\u003e271\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8:\u003cem\u003e The Saddest Music in the World \u003c\/em\u003e335\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: \u003cem\u003eBrand Upon the Brain! \u003c\/em\u003e389\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: \u003cem\u003eMy Winnipeg \u003c\/em\u003e452\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvoi 517\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix: The Short Films 520\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography 581\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52702425055512,"sku":"9781442610668","price":30.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/into-the-past-the-cinema-of-guy-maddin-paperback-softback-9781442610668","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
