DVD Club: Denys Arcand Double Bill
Celebrate all things French with a DVD Club retrospective of one of Canada's finest directors, Denys Arcand, and a double bill of his films, Decline of the American Empire and Barbarian Invasions. Throughout March and April, join us online in our DVD Club Forum as we discuss these two classic Canadian Films. By joining the Forum in March, you have a chance to win two tickets to Slague at THÉÂTRE FRANÇAIS DE TORONTO (April 7-11th)!
Made 17 years apart, the films follow a group of friends -- academics in Montreal -- as they negotiate their lives and loves, while examining their place in an increasingly violent and barbaric world. Through witty dialogue and short sharp scenes, Arcand tackles a broad sweep of issues from the personal to the political, from infidelity and gender roles to the Quebec healthcare system and the Cultural Revolution in China. In 2003’s Barbarian Invasions (Oscar-winner for Best Foreign Language Film), Arcand revisits the group of friends 17 years later, when the hedonistic and ascerbic Rémy is diagnosed with a fatal illness. His estranged son gathers his life-long friends together and does all he can to help him end his life in peace. Remy is forced to question his personal and public legacy and make peace with his past.
So head to our Forum to discuss these Canadian classics. You will be automatically entered to win great prizes, including a pair of tickets to Théâtre français de Toronto’s production of Slague, just for registering.
Take a theatrical voyage down a dark mine shaft: the French-language adaptation of Northern Ontario playwright Mansel Robinson’s Spitting Slag, translated and performed by renowned Franco-Ontarian author and actor Jean Marc Dalpé. Only six performances will be presented at The Berkeley Street Theatre, from April 7 to 11, 2010, at 8 p.m and a matinee at 3:30 pm on Saturday. www.theatrefrancais.com
