JANUARY 21ST, 2009 PASSCHENDAELE Starring: Paul Gross Rated 14A Begins at 8:00 pm - Over at 9:50 pm (Language may offend/ Gory Scenes) One
of the most stirring and ambitious films ever made in Canada, Paul Gross's Passchendaele
recounts what may have been the most savage battle of the First World War.
Participation in the Battle of Passchendaele was a pivotal moment in Canadian
history that defined the nation in the eyes of the world for years to come. That
acclaim came at a high price, however, and Canada's losses were great. Yet this
is not simply a story about love of country, but one of love discovered amid the
strife of war. Telling of a passion that endured despite cultural upheaval, vast
distance and the tragedies of the battlefield, Passchendaele is as
romantic as it is proud in its approach to this legacy. Sergeant
Michael Dunne (Gross) is sent back to the home front after he is wounded. While
recuperating, he meets Sarah (Caroline Dhavernas), a stunning young nurse, and
falls deeply in love with her. Like him, Sarah has been permanently scarred by
the conflict. Her father was killed in the war, and she is terrified that her
hot-headed younger brother David (Joe Dinicol) will soon be shipped to the
trenches. When David is indeed sent to Europe, Dunne follows, determined to
protect him. Passchendaele - (Extra Information if you require!) A passion
project for Gross, the film was based on stories told to him by his grandfather,
a veteran of the war to end all wars. This deeply personal connection is evident
in his direction. Passchendaele pays tribute to the foot soldier,
privileging the world-weary Dunne's perspective on war. Having witnessed the
horrors of combat, he is well aware that this gruelling form of fighting bears
no glory. But what Gross finds in Dunne is a man capable of hope and devotion
despite all. In his love for Sarah, the promise of a future beyond the clouds of
war begins to take shape. Gross captures
a perfect balance, investing the battle scenes with a stunning ferocity but also
crafting moments of remarkable beauty. Both Sarah and the resplendent prairie
views remind Dunne of what he and his countrymen are fighting for. As an actor,
Gross delivers a peerless turn, while promising young talents Dhavernas and
Dinicol give marvellous performances. Passchendaele
is a unique achievement in Canadian film, and not only because of its scope. Too
often, Canadians have a self-effacing attitude toward their own achievements.
This film flies in the face of that tendency, honouring the memory of those who
fell for their nation. January
23rd, 24th & 25th Changeling Starring: Angelina Jolie & John Malkovich Rated 14A Over at 10:15 pm Drama/Thriller A mother prays for the return of her kidnapped son. When her prayers are
