Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEach sequence of The Forbidden Room is based on reviews and summaries of "lost" films, mostly from America in the early to mid-20th century. These films were destroyed intentionally or by natural degradation of the original film stock, and will likely never be seen again. Guy Maddin realized the only way he'd be able to see these lost movies was to make them himself.

Featured review
Maybe I was in exactly the right mood for this, but I loved it.
It's not a "normal" film in any sense, as the weird cinematography, disjointed narrative and varied acting will testify, but even if one doesn't understand the "lost films" origin and the intent behind it, I think it works as an experience.
It's great that there are people out there making stuff like this alongside all the blockbusters. Very much worth a look.
