- DirectorRobert NelsonWilliam T. WileyStarsChuck WileyLew WelchSandra JusteShooting in 1966 without script, story, or any narrative preconception, Nelson and Wiley created a masterwork of '60s independent cinema. "The Great Blondino" follows an anachronistically attired young fellow as he navigates a beguiling, sometimes troubling world with a curiosity that opens us wide to the filmmakers' inspired, free-form vision. In many ways, the wonder of Blondino may echo the excitement of invention and exploration that Nelson and Wiley experienced in the making of the film. Utterly exuberant and freed from rote cinematic restriction, it embodies an artistic rigor and direction that also prevents it from ever seeming too unhinged. An incredible feat of tightrope walking.Canyon Cinema 50: Guy Maddin Presents The Great Blondino and Other Delights
