The films of the Canadian director Guy Maddin are an acquired taste, and there is a furtive, joyous air of conspiracy among those who have made the acquisition. They have seen "Twilight of the Ice Nymphs" (1997), for example, set in the enchanted land of Mandragora (population: six), and they relish the privilege of having slid beneath its spell. To read the raves of Maddin fans, you would think that they had stumbled upon a cache of cinematic baubles, as dazzling and useless as Faberge eggs, that put to shame the rusted lumps of narrative with which the rest of us must be content.
