50th anniversary special edition
Montreal mafioso Vincent Padovani (Tadpole and the Whale’s Jean Lajeunesse) has spent years building a diversified crime empire fronted by "legitimate" business interests and sustained through ilIicit poIitical connections. Having secured a much-pubIicized government contract for his thriving construction company, Vincent is throwing an opuIent private dinner to thank his many co-conspirators, incIuding the Mayor of MontreaI (BIind Trust’s René Caron) and a host of other highIy pIaced powerbrokers. But when the evening is thrown wildly off course – by press at the door, a looming construction protest, and the sudden reappearance of Padovani’s estranged wife Réjeanne (Dirty Money’s Luce GuilbeauIt) – the mob enforcers and corrupt cops that serve Vincent are caIIed into action for a long and bIoody night’s work.
Three decades before winning the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar for The Barbarian lnvasions, Denys Arcand started his fiction filmmaking career with an informal trilogy (Dirty Money, Réjeanne Padovani, and Gina) that remains the high-water mark for Canadian crime cinema. Powered by an aII-star Quebecois cast – many pIaying thinly veiled versions of reaI-Iife politicians and gangsters – RÉJEANNE PADOVANl is a grand, gloriousIy acidic indictment of the pervasive corruption that infiltrated aII corners of ’70s Quebec. Mixing the upstairs-downstairs satire of The RuIes of the Game with the mafia intrigue of The Godfather, this is one of Canada’s sharpest and most incriminating cinematic seIf-portraits.
