SHORT SYNOPSIS When 35-year-old Ruth ruins a baby shower with her juvenile antics, her old high school cronies- who are all mothers now-promptly de-friend her. But when she is later mistakenly thought to be ‘with child’ she is inexplicably welcomed back into the group. Although she initially tries to come clean, the many perks of pregnancy are far too seductive to ignore. Preggoland is a comedy about our societal obsession with babies and the lengths we’ll go to be part of a club. SYNOPSIS At 35, Ruth (Sonja Bennett) hasn’t changed much since high school. She’s still partying in parking lots, working as a cashier in a supermarket, and living in her father’s basement. When Ruth gets drunk at a friend’s baby shower and ruins it with her juvenile antics, her old high school cronies – who are now all married with children – suggest she might want to find some friends her own mental age. Ruth is devastated. Just when Ruth hits rock bottom, she runs into her friends who mistakenly think she’s pregnant.

  • Conversations with Two Canadian Film Artists
    Conversations with Two Canadian Film Artists By Gerald Pratley Spring 1994 Issue of KINEMA MICHELINE LANCTÔT AND COLM FEORE TALK TO GERALD PRATLEY (1) MICHELINE LANCTÔT wrote and directed wrote and directed wrote and directed Deux Actrices (Two Can Play), with Pascale Bussières, Pascale Paroissien, Louise Latraverse, François Delisle, Suzanne Garceau; a drama of re-conciliation between two estranged sisters, the charm and intrigue of which soon becomes a nightmare, with the actual narrative being interspersed with real-life scenes of the two actresses at work.(1) Pratley: Ms. Lanctôt, what inspired you to film this subject in a somewhat unusual way? Lanctôt: It came about from an idea I had a long time ago. I teach ”Directing Actors” at Concordia University in Montréal -- I always had trouble explaining what ”character” is on a screen to my students, and how actors approach a character. And I had long been tempted by the notion of doing something involving an actor and his character to try -- not to illustrate or demonstrate -- but just get the feeling of what the relationship is between an actor and a character. That was 10 years ago. And then in one of my classes I had this woman, who was a student of mine, whose face was very interesting, and the idea came to me that I should put her in the same film with Pascale Bussières and that I should involve them as actresses. It evolved pretty much from that woman and the idea of a character that she gave me and the situation that came out of it.

    The Bon, the Bad and the Others By Christina Stojanova Spring 2008 Issue of KINEMA The Bon, the Bad and the Others: Some Remarks on the Phenomenal Success of Bon Cop, Bad Cop in Quebec This article discusses some aspects of the phenomenal box-office success in Quebec of Bon Cop, Bad Cop directed by Eric Canuel, released in 2006. Let me first refer to some statistics: within nine weeks or so from its release in early August of2006, Bon Cop, Bad Cop was a few thousand dollars short of equalling the box-office success of Porky’s, the all-time Canadian box office success from the early 1980s, a raunchy Florida-set sex-comedy that made 11.2 million in Canada. Ninety percent of the box-office, however, came from the home province ticket salesof Bon Cop, Bad Cop, leaving far behind such recent viewers’ darlings as Les Boys from 1997, La grande seduction and Les invasions barbares, both from 2003 and above all, Seraphin, the historical drama from 2002 about ”the man and his sin,” which had so far held first place as the most popular film in Quebec, grossing 9million and three hundred thousand dollars. However, Bon Cop, Bad Cop grossed only 1.4 million in the rest of Canada, a gain off-set to a considerable extent by the expensive promotional campaign run in the ROC.The box-office results outside Quebec were the strongest in Toronto and Ottawa, but the film found little support outside of Ontario. In any case, even at 1.4 million dollars, the bilingual action comedy shot in Montreal is a feat, achieved by few English Canadian films and even fewer Québecois films in English Canada.

Maybe it’s because his wife just left him. Maybe it’s because his young daughter has become despondent and detached. Maybe it’s because he’s just been assigned three psychotherapy patients, all exhibiting extremely dangerous symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Maybe it’s because Joel is their last hope for help. As he starts to learn his patients’ secrets, he begins to discover that the key to helping them could be the key to helping himself. Now if only he could stay awake behind the wheel of his car... LONG SYNOPSIS Joel Rothman is an insomniac. Every part of his life is affected – his boss wants him suspended, dizziness and exhaustion make the simplest tasks impossible, and getting behind the wheel of his car could be fatal. He struggles to communicate with his young daughter, who has not been the same since his wife left them. While Jenny sleeps, Joel obsessively replays his wife’s final answering machine message – a bitter, angry good-bye. With his job security dangling by a thread, he is assigned three psychotherapy patients; all showing extreme symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
