Synopsis
This film is one of the best
traveled Canadian exports (after the Montreal World Film Festival
premiere, its played in Puerto Rico, Iran, Ireland and Egypt),
and it finally makes its circuitous route to IndieFest. Perhaps part
of KANADIANAs appeal is the well-defined sense of place. In
what other film would you see someone unplug the car before attempting
a fast getaway? Some of the universal appeal is undoubtedly the quirky
sensibility, and practically every admiring review points to FARGO
as a reference point, but Gustafsson is not an acolyte of the Coen
brothers. It is something more than that. The deceptively simple tale
grows richer with eccentric incidentals (hockey robbery, seduction
by lesbian cop, multiple endings), fleshing out the world of the film.
Its winter in Winnipeg, the geographic center of North America.
Prettyboy (Schioler) is released from his 3-year robbery sentence.
He took the fall for his brother Spinner (Mr. Ryder). Spinner is the
evil one, and pulls PB back into the life for one last score. The
pair head north (because most guys go south) with stolen diamonds,
and stash them in a pick-up at a gas station (two pumps in the middle
of nowhere) because the police drive up. They search the frozen plains
for a girl and a truck. |
