Love and suicide. Those are the words director Bruce Sweeney says inspired him to write Kingsway and are very much at the forefront of his dramedy about the dysfunctional Horvat family. And both are treated with humor despite never in a way that belittles their respective import. It’s not about laughing at suicide or those distraught and lost enough to contemplate the act. We smile instead because of our ability to see ourselves in the subject’s heaviness and a tumultuous aftermath that can lead towards a kneejerk self-centered desire to make it personal. That’s what love does. It’s a two-way street wherein we’re just as likely to do everything we can for someone who’s hurting as blame him/her for hurting us as though their troubles aren’t pain enough.
The family member to worry about is Matt (Jeff Gladstone), a semiotics professor riddled with anxiety.

As a Vancouverite, my interest in seeing Bruce Sweeney's Kingsway stemmed almost entirely from the fact that it is shot and set in my city. Vancouver is, in fact, the third-largest centre for film and television production in North America, after only Los Angeles and New York. The city and its suburbs stand in for countless other locales in productions year-round, and it's still occasionally referred to by the somewhat dated nickname "Hollywood North" -- but, unlike L.A. and New York, it never gets to play itself. For this reason, Kingsway caught my attention. Named for one of our longer, more confusing streets, Sweeney's dark comedy revolves around a close-knit family as they weather a series...

The Toronto Intl. Film Festival has added Denys Arcand’s crime thriller “The Fall of the American Empire” and 18 other Canadian films to its lineup.
Nine of the films are directed by women and 14 are world premieres.
“We’re especially proud to present such a diverse group of films,” said Steve Gravestock, senior programmer. “Ranging from science fiction to fantasy, myth to documentary, and romance to a dystopic vision of our neighbours to the south, this year’s Canadian films come from every region in the country, stretching from east to west and north to south.”
“The Fall of the American Empire” stars Alexandre Landry, Maxim Roy, Yan England, and Rémy Girard and centers Landry’s character discovering two bags of money and facing a moral dilemma. Arcand was inspired to make the film after learning about the 2010 murder of two people in a Montreal boutique.

The Toronto International Film Festival has added another 19 new titles to its 2018 festival lineup, comprised entirely of features directed by Canadian filmmakers. Each year, Tiff highlights the films that hail from its own shores in a standalone announcement, and this year it includes nine new films from female directors, six debut features, a number of titles from fixtures of the Canadian film scene, and the world premiere of three films that showcase some of the country’s Indigenous talent.
The festival will also play home to a special event world premiere and tribute dedicated to the late filmmaker and conservationist Rob Stewart, centered around his final film, “Sharkwater Extinction.” Stewart passed away in 2017 while working on the film, a followup to his 2006 documentary “Sharkwater.”

They may be “red and white and never blue” and they may “not even supposed to be here today,” but the clerks of Eh-2-Zed are certainly having an abnormal adolescence. Yoga Hosers marks the second film in Kevin Smith’s True North series, an American parody of Canada that may repay the favor for American Venus, Bruce Sweeney’s rare Canadian send-up of American values. This is certainly reading too much into the film, even if Smith takes the joke a little too far. There’s only so many times you can parody the pronunciation of the letter “o” as “eh.”
By all measures our heroines, the Colleens (Harley Quinn Smith and Lily-Rose Depp), are regular North American teens. Constantly on their phones, they dream of going to “grade 12” parties with cute boys even if they plan on stealing their souls. The girls practice yoga in a strip mall...

This afternoon, with poutine and local wine to mark the occasion, the Toronto International Film Festival announced their Canadian film selections. Programmers Steve Gravestock and Agata Smoluch Del Sorbo proudly pronounced that this year both new and seasoned filmmakers had the “curiosity and courage to show troubling issues occurring in our country in new and exciting ways.” Past festival favorite (and one of my personal own as well) Xavier Dolan, the always controversial Bruce Labruce and Jennifer Baichwal’s films garnered applause from the crowd at the majestic Royal York ballroom. Titles sure to draw headlines and attention in the Canadian slate are Denis Villeneuve’s locally filmed ‘Enemy‘ which has Jake Gyllenhall playing a man with two identities, torn between a mistress and a wife. Villeneuve’s other recent feature ‘Prisoners‘ was previously announced as a festival title. It’s worth mentioning that two feature films being presented at...

I won't even begin to get into the plethora of animated short films announced today for Tiff's Canadia shorts blocks, because there is a wealth of interesting cinema spewing forth from the bowels of English and French Canada for this years edition of Tiff. Regulars Bruce McDonald, Michael Dowse, Denis Villeneuve, Robert Lapage, Bruce Sweeney and the documentary tag-team of Jennifer Baichwal & Edward Burtynsky all have new films, aloing with the current darling of Canuck cinema, Xavier Dolan. The multi-talented Jeff Barnaby's provocative looking First Nations film Rhymes For Young Ghouls (pictured below) gets its world premiere along with a film directed by prolific character actor Peter Stebbings and a surprisingly un-pornographic sounding new one from Canada's L'enfant terrible, Bruce Labruce.

The 2013 Toronto International Film Festival has announced its lineup of Canadian features, which includes The F Word from Michael Dowse (Goon) starring Daniel Radfliffe and Adam Driver ("Girls"), Xavier Dolan's new film Tom at the Farm and Denis Villeneuve's second film to be added to the festival Enemy, which stars one of his two leads in Prisoners (which is also premiering in Toronto), Jake Gyllenhaal. The F Word is also Daniel Radfliffe's third film in the fest after Horns from Alexandre Aja and Kill Your Darlings. F Word centers on Wallace (Radfliffe) who meets Chantry (Zoe Kazan) and it would be love at first sight, except she lives with her long-term boyfriend. So Wallace, acting with both best intentions -- and maybe a little denial -- discovers the dirtiest word in romance: friends. Dolan is coming off the fantastic Laurence Anyways and again wrote, directed and stars in...

I’m Gonna Wreck It: Sweeney’s Latest a Meek Exercise In Neo Noir
Canadian filmmaker Bruce Sweeney returns with his latest, Crimes of Mike Recket, a police procedural neo-noir black comedy that attempts to use the current economic crises as impetus for a good guy turned bad scenario, one who makes poor moves to rectify his mounting debt. There’s a certain degree of playfulness at work here, with Sweeney giving us a rehash of those old B noir narratives from the forties and fifties, replete with a protagonist making unbelievably dumb decisions to fix his current economic situation. But despite this and all around enjoyable performances, there’s simply not much to get worked up about in this tale that ends up being more derivative than it perhaps meant to be.

Crimes of Mike Reket
Directed by Bruce Sweeney
2012, Canada, 80 minutes
Intelligent and uncomfortable comedy is so rare at the box office anymore—or so rarely talked about, anyway. Crimes of Mike Reket fits into that mould. Not well, though—this film doesn’t fit into any one mould very well, and I mean that in a good way. Aside from being darkly funny in an absurd manner, Bruce Sweeny’s newest film is also a whodunit undone, a cop film distinctly soft boiled, and an emotional drama that is palatably unfunny. Contradictory? Certainly. The neat thing is, though, it works.
One of the best things about Crimes of Mike Reket is that it is inoffensively but identifiably Canadian. This is what I mean: too many Canadian films (and TV series, and books, and songs . . .) approach ‘being Canadian’ in a Dudley Do-Right, maple syrup-caricature sort of way. It’s either that,...

In the last major update for the Toronto International Film Festival 2012 slate, they’ve announced their Canadian features. The line-up includes Sarah Polley’s upcoming documentary Stories We Tell, coming off her Take This Waltz this summer (which also premiered at Tiff). The other major films include two we’ve seen at Cannes,one being Brandon Cronenberg‘s Antiviral, which premiered alongside his father’s Cosmopolis. We disliked it (full review), saying it came off as an “an amateurish, high-budget student film.” The other major title is Xavier Dolan‘s Laurence Anyways, which we loved (full review), calling it a major step forward for the filmmaker. Check out the rest of the titles below, which I’m sure will include many discoveries.

- Following my top ten Tiff list of titles available piece that I published a couples of hours back, Tiff released the lengthy list of titles that are looking for deals. Among those that I didn't mention in my top ten but could have easily have been there is the omission of Micmacs à tire-larigot (I wasn't sure if Warner Bros. only had domestic rights for France and not world rights), and titles such as Neil Jordan's Ondine, Atom Egoyan's Chloe, Oliver Parker's Dorian Gray, Aaron Schneider's Get Low, Derrick Borte's The Joneses and Michael J. Bassett's Solomon Kane should be generating key interest from the buyers as well. Without further ado, here is the list. L’Affaire Farewell Christian Carion, France Ahead of Time Bob Richman, USA The Angel Margreth Olin, Norway/Sweden/Finland The Art of the Steal Don Argott, USA Baaria Giuseppe Tornatore,

- World preems (Mother and Child, L’Affaire Farewell, Love and Other Impossible Pursuits, I, Don Giovanni), Venice titles (The Road, A Single Man, The Men Who Stare at Goats, Baaria) and a Telluride pic in Werner Herzog's My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done are part of the Gala and Special Presentations and among the last batch of titles announced for the 2009 edition of the Toronto Film Festival. Today's press release (see here) should have confirmed that Sylvain Chomet's The Illusionist as part of the festival, there is a brief mention the filmmaker's name, but we don't find his film listed in the 19 announced, but instead there is a mention that the previously announced Bruce Sweeney's Excited, is now a Special Presentation. Could the title have been removed at the last minute? Or is the omission - simple a mistake? More on this later. Among the titles,

TORONTO -- David Cronenberg's Eastern Promises, starring Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen, and Denys Arcand's Days of Darkness will get the red-carpet treatment at the Toronto International Film Festival, organizers said Tuesday.
The latest work from veteran Canadian directors Cronenberg and Arcand -- whose film closed Cannes this year -- will receive galas at Roy Thomson Hall.
Unveiling the Canadian contingent in Toronto, festival organizers said they have booked Francois Girard's Keira Knightley starrer Silk from Picturehouse and New Line International, Roger Spottiswoode's Rwandan drama Shake Hands With the Devil and Clement Virgo's boxing tale Poor Boy's Game, starring Danny Glover, for Special Presentations slots.
Also joining the Special Presentations program is Adam Vollick's Here Is What Is, a portrait of famed record producer Daniel Lanois, and Guy Maddin's My Winnipeg, billed as a "docu-fantasia" about the filmmaker's hometown.
Canadian films unspooling as part of Toronto's Contemporary World Cinema section include Leonard Farlinger's All Hat; Bruce Sweeney's American Venus, starring Rebecca De Mornay; Bernard Emond's Contre Toute Esperance, which will also screen in Locarno; and Carl Bessai's Carrie-Anne Moss starrer Normal.
Also joining the CWC party is Laurie Lynd's Breakfast With Scot, Denis Cote's Nos Vies Privees and Kari Skogland's The Stone Angel, the big-screen adaptation of the classic Margaret Laurence novel, starring Ellen Burstyn.

"Last Wedding" is a movie about male/female relationships -- bad male/female relationships. It's not about anything else, so after 100 minutes you'll either want to get divorced or throw a cooked chicken at writer-director Bruce Sweeney. The latter proves to be an effective weapon one woman uses against her husband, so that's not as far-fetched as it sounds.
This Canadian film, selected as the opening-night gala for the Toronto Film Festival, has secured Canadian distribution, but theatrical chances elsewhere look grim.
Sweeney, making his third film, proves adept at constructing scenes of brutal emotional violence: Scenes where couples push all the right buttons to tear each other apart. Yet in each instance, he fails to provide an underlying reason for the over-the-top dysfunction.
The three couples at the center of the movie individually suffer from career pressures, petty jealousies and general dissatisfaction with life. Yet why these troubles spill over into their romantic relationships to such a poisonous degree is never clear.
The movie starts off as a romantic comedy about a Jewish couple -- Noah (Benjamin Ratner), a water-proofing expert, and Zipporah (Frida Betrani), a hugely untalented country singer -- who are desperate to get married after a six-month courtship. This desire flourishes despite solid reservations from family, friends, spiritual advisers and even their own inner voices.
Noah breaks the news to his fishing buddies Peter (Tom Scholte), a Canadian lit professor, and Shane (Vincent Gale), a disillusioned architect, who react with underwhelming enthusiasm. Both live with their girlfriends in apparent harmony, yet subterranean cracks are developing there too.
After the wedding, things go from bad to worse in all three cases. Zipporah's singing career is a nonstarter, so she spends her days watching TV and her nights making her husband miserable. Peter lets an oversexed student (Marya Delver) all too easily come between him and his librarian girlfriend, Leslie (Nancy Sivak). Shane rages against the success his girlfriend, Sarah (Molly Parker), experiences in her new architectural job.
The film's comic tone soon enough gets tossed out in favor of sheer nastiness and sexual candor. Yet the film fails as drama since its superficial fight scenes never explore the characters' true anxieties or emotional needs. You can't even imagine why these couples are couples. To create "The War of the Roses", you must first have roses.
Perhaps Sweeney is aiming for a dark satire about relationships. But the third act is far too late for such a tonal change.
The film succeeds in two areas: For once, physical violence is perpetuated by women against men. And if not for once then certainly for one of the few times, Vancouver, British Columbia, actually represents the city of Vancouver.
