All of the city's backstory is made up by Maddin, correct?
I'm venturing a guess that it plays into the "fantasy documentary" notion this films plays around with. So all of the backstory about the bridge, certain streets, etc he made up?
shareObviously much of it is fiction, but there is a lot of truth to the movie and he really does capture what it is like to live in Winnipeg.
Winnipeg is like having a parent with a severe personality disorder. You love them and they love you, but they treat you like trash and you hate them for what they put you through.
