My Dad Is 100 Years Old (Guy Maddin, 2005)
Guy Maddin is another one of those directors who I was introduced to by the Criterion Channel, and I loved his My Winnipeg (and not simply because we're heading there in July). This morning I watched his short film My Dad Is 100 Years Old. It was written by and starred Isabella Rosselini, and it was a tribute to her father Robert Rosselini. There were parts about it that I loved, including Isabella Rosselini playing Federico Fellini, Alfred Hitchcock, Charlie Chaplin, and her own mother, Ingrid Bergman. Her father being played by a large stomach (she remembers curling up on his tummy, so on one level I get it), I liked less. It definitely made me want to go back and watch more Roberto Rosselini films.
