LA BRUNANTE




Drama
In French with English subtitles

PRINCIPAL CAST MEMBERS
Monique Mercure: Madeline, an elderly woman
Suzanne Clément: Zoé, a younger woman and part-time musician

REVIEW
The onset of sickness often prompts us to stop procrastinating and get moving. This is the premise for what is essentially a road trip around Quebec. Slow at times and somewhat drawn out, the main reason for taking in the movie would be to see a really fine performance by Suzanne Clément. She alone is worth the price of admission.

CLASSIFICATION
for some drug use and brief nudity.

FOR NITPICKERS ONLY
The license plate number on Madeline’s car is OGJ 587 but when she parks in front of the restaurant the number ends with 3992. However by the time she arrives in Gaspé, the car once again has the correct license plate back on it.

P.S.
The title means Twilight.
