Description
On the steep slopes of mountain ranges worthy of the Carpathians live the inhabitants of Tolzbad. Why is the migratory flight of wild geese awaited each year with such apprehension? What is this excessive caution that drives them to seal their windows? Who are these people, where are we, and when?
Guy Maddin's third film, which makes fascinating use of color here, "Careful" was selected by the world's greatest festivals and acclaimed by international critics. In 1995, Guy Maddin received the "Telluride Medal" for his body of work, a coveted honor awarded to filmmakers as important as Gance, Coppola, Tarkovski, and Eastwood.
