Customer Reviews of The Saddest Music in the World
Must . . . Make It . . . Average To Five Stars Imagine trying to put an actual dream that you have had into film. Do you dream in color? If you undergo lucid dreaming then maybe the colors are extremely clear. However, if you find yourself lost and yet enjoying the insanity of the dream then color is excused. What is known to you gets categorized and entities such as countries compete in an embellished metaphor which is "the saddest music in the world." It is a place where any irrational thing is thrown in with all processed information of the story. This gives Ishiguro and essentially Madden a clear pathway for film usage. Explaining this film is like trying to describe an instrumental - and so it is best to simply see it for yourself.
Wonderful movie
I can't believe i waited so long to see it but i'd never heard of Guy Madden.

A film hommage to an over used genre: Romantic Drama!
The idea itself is wonderful! A pub in a small town of Saskatchewan during the depression suffers from the lack of customers who cannot afford beer anymore. So the owner starts a competition of the saddest music of the world, because when you are sad you tend to drink a lot more...
The visual is fantastic, very "cinématographe" approach with the balck and white and the overblown grain of the photography. Even the lighting reminds us of Von Sternberg with Marlene Dietrich.
The actors are brilliants. The writing is such as the actors have to play a incongruous emotion to the action they're doing. It gives a peculiar atmosphere to the movie.
The artistic choice of using everything (and I mean everything) of the old cinema as an hommage is a very good choice and over using it is part of the humor of the film.
It is funny and weird. I just loved it!
