Archangel

11 yrs 78 minutes • 1990 • 6.3

A Canadian lieutenant with one leg and amnesia arrives in Arkhangelsk in northern Russia. He is there to look after allied interests and support the locals during the Russian Revolution, unknowing that the world war is already over. He mourns his dead wife, but is suddenly convinced that a strange woman is his beloved Iris. Archangel is a surreal dramatic wartime comedy with an odd triangular drama where to forgetful men tries to come to term with reality, directed by Guy Maddin.
