Will the crew of this Canadian submarine be able to save a damsel held prisoner by strange creatures? What does a corpse's mustache dream about? What run through a volcano's mind as it erupts? And what about love?

Welcome into Guy Maddin's mad and one-of-a-kind universe. He is back with his eleventh feature film starring the young Evan Johnson and invites us in a Russian doll-kind of story as he plays with texture and memories like never before. Elegiac and dissonant, dreamlike and experimental, The Forbidden Room, also benefits from an amazing cast -almost as mad as its director- among who Charlotte Rampling, Geraldine Chaplin, Udo Kier, Mathieu Amalric, Jacques Nolot. Unmissable!
