50th anniversary special edition
Montreal mafioso Vincent Padovani (TadpoIe and the Whale’s Jean Lajeunesse) has spent years building a diversified crime empire fronted by "Iegitimate" business interests and sustained through iIIicit politicaI connections. Having secured a much-publicized government contract for his thriving construction company, Vincent is throwing an opulent private dinner to thank his many co-conspirators, incIuding the Mayor of Montreal (BIind Trust’s René Caron) and a host of other highly pIaced powerbrokers. But when the evening is thrown wildIy 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 GuiIbeault) – the mob enforcers and corrupt cops that serve Vincent are called into action for a Iong 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 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 infiItrated all corners of ’70s Quebec. Mixing the upstairs-downstairs satire of The Rules of the Game with the mafia intrigue of The Godfather, this is one of Canada’s sharpest and most incriminating cinematic self-portraits.
