Maddin madness

Zeitgeist is releasing a new edition of Guy Maddin's wonderful Careful on March 24th:

The specs, according to Amazon:
- Brand-new master, created from a new Hi-Def transfer
- New feature audio commentary by Guy Maddin and screenwriter George Toles
- Waiting for Twilight (1997, 60 mins): A vintage documentary by Noam Gonick on the early career of Maddin, narrated by Tom Waits
- Odilon Redon or The Eye Like a Strange Balloon Mounts Toward Infinity (1995): Maddin's short film about the great French Symbolist painter
- Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hearing impaired
I've already got the older Kino release, so I'll skip the upgrade, but it'll be cool to have the flick back in print. And that Odilon Redon short is awfully enticing...

The prospect of Maddin teeing off on Redon is hard to resist.
