The Twentieth Century: the Epic of Mackenzie King as Recounted in Ten Chapters is a brilliant comedy about early 20th-century Canadian politics. It's a wonderful satire inspired by Guy Maddin and Derek Jarman, but the genius is all Matthew Rankin. It's a hilarious, fabulously confident film. (Incidentally, all of the reviews that compare this to Monty Python are out of their minds.)
I watched this with my movie club. It was a Dave Rodriguez pick, and the entire group loved it.
