  Touched By Ghosts: Keyhole Director Guy Maddin and Jason
Patric   Canadian filmmaker Guy Maddin chose to film his most
recent project, Keyhole, in his hometown of Winnipeg, like many
of his other movies. Jason Patric, who plays Maddin's lead
character, Ulyssis Pick, specified that it was actually mostly
in "an old factory" and "a toilet pump room". In the case of
Keyhole, location had a much more serious role to play than just
providing the surroundings - it became a key antagonist in the
tale, stepping in for Homer's sea and islands in this re-
interpretation of The Odyssey.  The film also stars Isabella
Rosselini as Hyacinth - a version of The Odyssey's ever-waiting
wife, Penelope. The TIFF website has tagged the film as
"Experimental & Avant Garde", "Fantasy", "Crime",  "Adventure"
and "Canadian".  Here's what Guy had to say in our interview...
