{"product_id":"from-the-atelier-tovar-9781552451311","title":"From the Atelier Tovar","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eGuy Maddin is one of Canada's most celebrated and original filmmakers, the director of such delirious films as \u003ci\u003eTales from the Gimli Hospital\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCareful\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Saddest Music in the World\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMy Winnipeg\u003c\/i\u003e. Few know, however, that he is just as gifted a writer, and his resolutely purple prose, as eccentric and enchanting as his film work, is a true delight. \u003ci\u003eFrom the Atelier Tovar\u003c\/i\u003e gathers, in one volume, the best of Maddin's writing: his journalism (originally published in the \u003ci\u003eVillage Voice\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCinema Scope\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFilm Comment\u003c\/i\u003e and points beyond), unpublished short stories and film treatments (including the riotous \u003ci\u003eChild Without Qualities\u003c\/i\u003e), and selections, both lurid and illuminating, from the filmmaker's personal journals. Here are Maddin's feverish musings on hockey, the Osmonds, divas of the Italian silent cinema, Bollywood, his own twisted biography, and much, much more. What emerges finally is both a fragrant potpourri and a treasure trove, a singular portrait of this very unique artist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Guy Maddin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48308066287867,"sku":"9781552451311","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9781552451311.jpg?v=1772484721","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/from-the-atelier-tovar-9781552451311","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
