The Green Fog

Canadian eccentric artist Guy Maddin’s latest experiment is a quasi-narrative pastiche that pays tribute to Hitchcock’s Vertigo in a love letter written to San Francisco. Madden collaborates with siblings Evan and Galen Johnson in this San Francisco Film Festival-commissioned feature that compiles bits from 98 films and 3 TV shows set in San Francisco and re-imagines a post-modern version of Hitchcock’s classic Vertigo. Kronos Quartet plays the score by Jacob Garchick in this one of a kind film which marks Maddin’s second collaboration with the Johnson siblings following The Forbidden Room.
