If you’re a happy, well-adjusted person, never go on a date with me. Just don’t.
I don’t mean because I, myself, am such a morose individual — I’m not. But my cinematic picks can be real downers.
I can’t help it! I like heavy-hitting dramas, acting tour-de-forces. I like walking out of a theater feeling devastated. Even on a date? Especially on a date.
(Films discussed in this post: Heartbeats, Good Neighbours, and Cold Weather.)
French New Wave. Italian Neo-Realism. British Kitchen Sink. Hollywood. Bollywood. Japanese horror. Hong Kong action-thrillers.
Nearly every region of the world has a type of cinema its “Known For.” Some have several.
But not Canada!
Unless you count Score: A Hockey Musical. Because a hockey musical could only be made in Canada.
