Our take

Watching a Guy Maddin picture is like rummaging through a celluloid flea market of the found and forgotten. Keyhole is a spectral summoning of the ‘30s gangster movie, boiled in a cauldron of expressionist horror for a brew that at once shouldn’t exist, yet seemingly, in Maddin’s hands, always has.
