Abstract
Guy Maddin is a contemporary Canadian director who has been often lauded for the national distinctiveness of his work. Maddin’s Careful (1992), however, poses as an unrestored German Bergfilm (mountain film) from the early 1930s. This article offers a close reading of Careful and a critical dialogue with commentaries on both the mountain film and discussions of Maddin’s oeuvre. Putting to use transnational perspectives, this analysis of a Canadian director’s appropriation of a hallmark German genre problematizes previous constructions of national identity and national cinema as well as the periodization of film history.
Guy Maddin是一位当代加拿大导演，他经常因其作品的民族特色而受到赞誉。然而，《玛丁的小心》（1992）是一部20世纪30年代初未经改编的德国伯格电影（山地电影）。这篇文章细读了《小心》，并对山地电影和马丁作品的讨论进行了评论对话。从跨国视角来看，这篇对一位加拿大导演挪用德国标志性电影类型的分析，对之前国家身份和国家电影的构建以及电影史的分期提出了质疑。
