Music

well, Guy told my film class at u of w that he had to get the piece from some russian mafia guys, and that he was standing in the rain on a payphone, trying to contact them, and they sent it, and he never sent them any money. So he has this semi-licensed song in that movie. And can I just say that Guy is one of the greatest, most original director ever? I can? Okay, I will. And he's a super nice guy. Makes us aspiring film-makers have a little hope.

The music is credited as "Time Forward" by Georgi Sviridov, "with permission from the Sviridov Foundation and Meloydiya (c) 1968". The music appears to be part of the soundtrack of a Russian film "Vremya, vperyod!" ("Time, Forward"). A little quick searching shows the music may be available on various CDs - try this link for one:

or hunt on Amazon or other CD sources for "Time, Forward" or "Sviridov" - there seems to be a Meloydiya collection with this on it (Amazon ASIN B0002OP0Z4), which may be Maddin's version.
