During the Great Depression, beer baroness Lady Port-Huntley (Isabella Rossellini) offers a $25,000 prize to the composer who can write the saddest music in the world. Musicians from around the globe travel to Winnipeg to vie for the cash, including a failed Broadway producer, a cellist just returned from postwar Serbia and a bereaved father wracked with guilt over the accidental amputation of the legs of his one true love.

The Saddest Music in the World review by Charlotte
typical Canadian fare . . . but on acid
(0) of (0) members found this review helpful.
While crictically acclaimed in some circles this 'art house' flick has all the usual features of a Canadian film. Lots of funerals and snow and a plot line that leaves you depressed by the time the film's finished.
The film also has some additional unique features: the plot is convoluted and absurd and it pretends to be a 30s flick, not just a film based in the 30s.
Definitely the worst Canadian film I've ever watched.
My Mother and I stuck it out to the bitter end but I think only because we felt we owed to a fellow Canuck. My British Father had no such qualms and found something else to do in the opposite side of the house within about 10 min.
