"I'm going to be 70 in a few months, and I feel you could use a more youthful voice. A really cool movie." - Guy Maddin

“City Wide Fever reminds me why I still go to the movies — desperate souls and bad lighting.” - Paul Schrader

“Not only does it capture the dreamy, off-kilter tone of giallo, but keeps the audience entertained with killer shot-on-video visuals and an endearing sense of humour.” - Alan Jones, Bleeding Edge
