Just when you thought things were calming down a bit in Park City, with the wild first weekend giving way to a tamer, milder (temperatures reached 50 degrees Fahrenheit), more manageable Monday, two of the most audacious films of the Festival shook things up again at the Library Theater. First came The Forbidden Room, the latest stream-of-celluloid-consciousness feature from the slaphappy genius of Winnipeg, Guy Maddin. And then Rodney Ascher’s documentary horror story The Nightmare proved true to its title, keeping the midnight crowd up even later than advertised.
