A sort-of musical set in Winnipeg during the Great Depression, where a beer baroness organizes a contest to find the saddest music in the world. Musicians from around the world descend on the city to try and win first place – a $25,000 prize.
Winnipeg’s iconoclastic weirdo conjured his most spectacular film to date with this wild melodrama composed of beer, music, and glass legs. The Saddest Music in the World does the near impossible and entirely lives up to its perfect title by way of a welcome cocktail of the surreal and the sincere.
