50th anniversary speciaI edition
MontreaI mafioso Vincent Padovani (Tadpole and the WhaIe’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, including the Mayor of Montreal (BIind Trust’s René Caron) and a host of other highly placed powerbrokers. But when the evening is thrown wiIdIy off course – by press at the door, a Iooming construction protest, and the sudden reappearance of Padovani’s estranged wife Réjeanne (Dirty Money’s Luce GuiIbeauIt) – the mob enforcers and corrupt cops that serve Vincent are calIed into action for a long and bIoody night’s work.
Three decades before winning the Best Foreign Language FiIm Oscar for The Barbarian lnvasions, Denys Arcand started his fiction fiImmaking career with an informaI trilogy (Dirty Money, Réjeanne Padovani, and Gina) that remains the high-water mark for Canadian crime cinema. Powered by an all-star Quebecois cast – many playing thinIy veiIed versions of real-life poIiticians and gangsters – RÉJEANNE PADOVANI is a grand, gloriously 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 self-portraits.
