The Forbidden Room is an experimental film directed by Guy Maddin (My Winnipeg) and co-directed by Evan Johnson. The film had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this year and screened at the Toronto International Film Festival. It stars an ensemble cast featuring Roy Dupuis, Clara Furey, Louis Negin, Udo Kier, Gregory Hlady, Mathieu Amalric, Noel Burton, and Géraldine Chaplin.
A submarine crew, a feared pack of forest bandits, a famous surgeon, and a battalion of child soldiers all get more than they bargained for as they wend their way toward progressive ideas on life and love.
“I think this is by far the best picture I’ve ever made,”admits Maddin. “It was shot entirely in the studio, or in many small studios, but, strangely, in public studios. It was so strange to script a movie that would be shot in public, without giving away the exact plot to that public. And the movie is in fullest, fuller-than-full colour – more colourful than any other movie ever made. How’s that, you ask? I’m feeling very proud now, like I’ve finally figured it all out, this filmmaking business. Of course I had a lot of help from great collaborators.”
The Forbidden Room is rated 14A.
