Tales from the Gimli Hospital (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tales from the Gimli Hospital, directed by Guy Maddin, is a black-and-white 1988 psychodrama which incorporates elements of surrealism, black comedy, and expressionism. The film opens on two young children whose mother is dying in the present-day Gimli hospital. During a visit to see her, the children's Icelandic grandmother launches into the grim and convoluted tale of Einar the Lonely, a patient in a far-distant-past version of the same hospital-in "a Gimli we no longer know," as the grandmother puts it.
