Let me guess - they had you at "Jeanne is leaving for a week of adultery with Theremin virtuoso Manu (Emmanuel Bilodeau)"?

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Oh, I did just remember the likely downside of Unleashed: I'm pretty sure Morgan Freeman is going to be a Magical Negro. I think his character is blind, and it sure does look like he's going to Teach Danny How To Live Again.
On the bright side, Freeman's role in Driving Miss Daisy sounds like the Magical Negro trope on paper. He had enough talent and skill to make the character a three-dimensional, fully-realized one that was lovable without being sappy.
Is there any hope that he'll play this guy like Gene Hackman's blind hermit in Young Frankenstein?

Heh. No, I guess not.

I must find a way to see this film!
Maybe a trip to Montreal is in order?

I might be there for a couple of days at the end of the year. Do they usually put English subtitles on French language films there?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do they usually put English subtitles on French language films there?
If it's shown in an English theatre, yes. If the flick is getting a lot of press, they probably will release it for the anglos.

A better question is, what is the likelihood it will still be in theaters almost three months from now? I might have to wait and hope for a DVD.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Maybe you should just learn French between now and then.

According to this site, it's only in three French cinemas in Montreal proper right now. Maybe in 3 months it will be a hit, and will have moved into English cinemas in Quebec.
