Eunice deemed too “dark” for opening night.

October 26th, 2010

So…sadness. But we’re going to turn this frown upside down!

At the 13th hour, the night before opening, we got a note. Eunice is too “dark” for an opening night celebration; it has been decreed. I’m not sure I agree – I always thought that little movie was about love and family strength but there you have it. Quite a kerfuffle.

I had to laugh after I got back on my feet. Too dark? Wait until they get a load of the next one! Sure, people die and stuff, but it’s always about love.  Sweet love.

Eunice will be screened, instead, on Friday night at 7:00.

Eunice loves St John’s. Go get em, girl!!

“How Eunice Got Her Baby” plays opening night Gala at the St. John's Women's Film Festival

October 23rd, 2010

St. John’s Women’s Film Festival 2010

Venue: OPENING NIGHT GALA – Arts and Culture Centre
Date: Tuesday, October 26, 2010
Time: 8:00 pm

Director/Réalisateur: Ana Valine
Producer/Producteur: Jordan Gross, Kristin Somborac
Writer/Scénariste: Dane Clark, Linsey Ann Stewart
Country/Pays: Canada
Running Time/Durée: 16 min

Fresh from the Canadian Film Centre, this hard little gem comes with a parental advisory. Children are best left at home for it, but adults will surely appreciate the excellent story-telling skills at work here. Director Ana Valine – about whom we are going to hear a lot more – and her talented writing team have crafted a bold, harsh fable about a young woman with starry dreams and a fair measure of hard luck. Living in small-town Canada can do that to you. Flo is like a young Courtney Love, but without the benefits. Flo’s life changes one night when a handsome bad boy walks into the groc & conf and holds her up at gunpoint. They have a much shorter ride than Bonnie and Clyde, and with no one to run from but themselves. Enter Eunice. Opening night hero Gordon Pinsent narrates in his typically whiskey-throated way – all velvet, no ice.

How Eunice Got Her Baby: Directed by Ana Valine, the film follows two sisters – Eunice (Vivien Endicott Douglas) and Flo (Kate Corbett). Eunice is good, Flo is bad. Eunice ends up with a baby, but not in the conventional way. Corbett’s sexually- charged, renegade performance is wildly riveting. You can’t help but become immersed in her ‘F*** society’ attitude and streaky black crack-whore eyeliner. There’s a romanticism and desperation to her character that makes you want her to be alright. This Goldie Hawn look-alike makes those Alicia Silverstone Aerosmith videos seem like the CBC Sunday Night Movie.
