Strange Club Announcements: Morvern Callar, My Winnipeg, and more

September 18, 2015 1:10 PM

Based on the votes, we're in a tie between Morvern Callar and My Winnipeg, so we'll go with one after the other.

Sep. 28 - Morvern Callar (2002, directed by Lynne Ramsay) - IMDB, trailer

Oct. 12 - My Winnipeg (2007, directed by Guy Maddin) - IMDB, trailer

As always, if you can't track down the movie, give me or ryanrs a memail message, and we'll get you sorted out.

After those movies, we've got a surprise for Halloween. Announcement forthcoming...

Has anybody tracked down a legit stream for Morvern Callar yet? I've tried:

• Netflix
• Hulu
• Google Play
• Amazon Prime
• Fandor
• YouTube

and a handful of others, but no dice. Although I recall this movie getting a fair amount of critical support at the time of its release, it appears that to be completely absent from the world of streaming media. There was a DVD release by Palm Pictures in 2004 (Three copies left at Amazon), but it looks like most of us (myself included) will be hitting up ryanrs on this one.

Good call, biffa, looks like the UK is better served for this one than the US. I probably should've mentioned, everything I tried was a US-based service -- folks living elsewhere may have other (better?) options. I'll endeavor to be less US-ian in the future.

Since this is kind of a meta-club thread, I'll drop an article I just read spotlighting a couple of upcoming movies that we might want to add to the master list: The Lobster (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2015) and Anomalisa (Charlie Kaufman & Duke Johnson, 2015)
