TIFF Bell Lightbox: New Fellini exhibit and top-notch programming give Toronto a reason to smile
TIFF Bell Lightbox: New Fellini exhibit and top-notch programming give Toronto a reason to smile

Don’t be misled to think we’re giving credence to the seemingly inexhaustible notion of a Montreal/Toronto rivalry. It’s just that when it comes to venues designed for marvelling at that almighty silver screen, our formerly world-renowned city has been reduced to a sad shadow of its former self, while Toronto has managed to keep up with the times.

À St-Henri, le 26 août: director Shannon Walsh journeys into Montreal’s cultural imaginary

Montreal is a city in flux: the effects of industrialization keep altering the movements and settlement of its population. Emblematic of this change is St Henri, a working class neighborhood and one of the first to be established along the Lachine canal.

Inspiré d’un classique du théâtre de boulevard, "Potiche" est l’histoire de Suzanne Pujol (une Catherine Deneuve carrément délirante), femme bourgeoise des années 70 sans culture politique, soumise à son mari, qui se voit du jour au lendemain remettre les clés de l’entreprise de parapluies de son mari (Fabrice Luchini).

Zach Braff: deconstructing the Garden State golden boy as his new Montreal-set drama hits theatres
From Scrubs daydreams to Montreal screens!
Zach Braff: deconstructing the Garden State golden boy as his new Montreal-set drama hits theatres

The first thing Zach Braff does once our call is connected is to thank me “for being interested in our little movie.” Given that the little movie in question is Canadian indie drama The High Cost of Living, a low-budget picture shot in Montreal over a year ago, one might have expected an actor of his standing not to sound as personally invested in the project. But Braff, for one, is notoriously picky when it comes to roles.

Paul Giamatti: winning Montreal over with flattery and a masterful Barney

When I spoke with the affable Giamatti on the phone from London back in December, he’d either just returned from a weekend meditation retreat or was nearing the end of a gruelling press blitz, as his voice was gravelly and totally mellowed out.
