TIFF Review: Trickster Is Electrifying - NOW Magazine 9/8/2020 TIFF review: Trickster is electrifying - NOW Magazine NEWS LIFE HEALTH REAL ESTATE CULTURE CANNABIS READERS’ CHOICE MORE NOW Magazine Movies & TV Reviews TIFF review: Trickster is electrifying Director Michelle Latimer's wicked-cool style pulses and throbs through this CBC TV adaptation of Eden Robinson's novel By Radheyan Simonpillai Sep 7, 2020 Courtesy CBC TRICKSTER PRIME D: Michelle Latimer. Canada. 86 min. Sep 15, 12:30 pm, TIFF, Sep 16, 6 pm, Online. Rating: NNNN Trickster is a scrappy, bare-knuckle answer to the Harry Potter series. The comparison might seem reductive but the parallels are there. Both are coming-of-age tales with supernatural elements. And https://nowtoronto.com/movies/tiff-2020/tiff-review-trickster-cbc 1/3 9/8/2020 TIFF review: Trickster is electrifying - NOW Magazine both are about young boys absorbing personal traumas and discovering their inherent power and purpose. Replace the British accents, Hogwart’s decadence and John Williams’s music box score with Indigenous folklore, a grim sense of humour and an aesthetic and swagger that suits a Snotty Nose Rez Kids video. That’s a taste of what co-creators Michelle Latimer and Tony Elliot bring to this CBC adaptation of Eden Robinson’s book Son Of A Trickster. Latimer also directs. Her trademark wicked-cool style and energy pulses and throbs through this series. Robinson is currently writing the final novel in the Trickster trilogy, and Latimer is already writing the second season. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves. The six-part first season stars Joel Oulette. The newcomer is exactly the kind of heartthrob to anchor a show for YA fans. He’s got a jaw line and pecs that call attention like rare rock formations. And beneath his furrowed brow are eyes you can get lost in. Oh, and he can act, too. Stranger Things in Kitimaat Oulette’s Jared is a teen from Kitimat, B.C., where an under construction LNG plant is planning to receive the Coastal GasLink pipeline. Jared doesn’t pay much attention to the divisive plant or the pipeline workers roaring through his community. He keeps his head down, squeaks by at school and works a fast food drive-thru. He also cooks MDMA on the side to support his family. Jared is the responsible one who drinks or gets high quietly at a party. His skittish mom Maggie on the other hand storms into the party and becomes its gravitational centre. Crystle Lightning is electrifying as Maggie, a mom who drinks hard, loves harder and has a ferociousness about her that keeps everyone on their toes. She’s diagnosed schizophrenic. We regularly see her having conversations with thin air. But each episode reveals more about her pain and her strengths. Jared’s dad is purportedly Phil (Craig Lauzon), a gentle but needy father who bashfully has his handout. But the novel’s title hints that Jared’s real dad is the trickster who goes by Wade, played with cunning magnetism by Kalani Queypo. Wade’s been absent. He’s a mystery figure whose return to Kitimaat coincides with peculiar occurrences. Jared encounters creepy doppelgängers, a talking crow and a nosy woman (Gail Maurice) whose skin seems to barely hang on to her body. The teen also goes gaga for new neighbour Sarah (Anna Lambe), an anti-pipeline activist working through her latest foster home. He tends to see pixie dust or fireflies when she’s around. On family and history https://nowtoronto.com/movies/tiff-2020/tiff-review-trickster-cbc 2/3 9/8/2020 TIFF review: Trickster is electrifying - NOW Magazine The supernatural stuff, which is drawn from lore, complements instead of overwhelms the compelling human drama. Unlike his counterparts in other YA franchises, from Twilight to the Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina, Jared can’t get caught up in the magic. He’s coping with working-class problems, figuring out how to pay the electricity bill and his mom’s outstanding drug debt. He barely has time to think about why he’s seeing a doppelgänger because finding a ride to deliver pizza is a more urgent matter. The talking crow just complicates things. Jared’s connection to his family and by turns his heritage is the focus. The demons they struggle with are intimate and personal, yet feel shared across a community. The series never feels like it’s labouring to educate on Indigenous history, intergenerational trauma and the current moment. But that history and this moment flow like a current through Trickster. It enriches our understanding of who these characters are, what they represent and how much they could mean to a new generation. The first two episodes of Trickster premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. The series launches on CBC and CBC Gem on October 7. @justsayrad Tags HOME TOP LISTING MICHELLE LATIMER NNNN 2020 STREAMING TIFF 2020 TV Radheyan Simonpillai Radheyan's first assignment for NOW was reviewing the Ice Cube heist comedy First Sunday.

    Annual Report Spotlight on WOMEN WHO ARE SHAPING CANADIAN TELEVISION & FILM SHINING A SPOTLIGHT MORE & MORE WOMEN ARE SHAPING THE TELEVISION & FILM WE WATCH TODAY Each year in our Annual Report, we have an opportunity to showcase the work of Canada’s television and film producers. And each year reaffirms just how much creative talent exists in this country. In 2018, the Rogers Group of Funds supported that talent by committing $18.5 million to 116 productions from a diverse group of Canadian producers. A significant number of them are women — women who are creating globally recognized hit series, powerful documentaries, award- winning features and other great content. Whether they’re taking their place in the director’s chair, the visual effects studio or the boardroom table, more and more women are shaping the television and film we watch today. To celebrate their achievements, we’ve chosen to highlight a few of the many Canadian women from coast to coast who are making an impact in our sector today. As you’ll see in the pages that follow, they’re striking international deals, pioneering interactive digital content and finding bold new ways to tell stories. Some of them have been wowing audiences for decades. Others are earlier in their career. But each one of them is making Canadian film and television richer by bringing their voice, experience and perspective to our screens — and shaping Canadian culture as a result. Brava! Robin C. Mirsky, Executive Director, Rogers Group of Funds & Philip B. Lind, Vice Chairman, Rogers Communications Rogers Group of Funds 1 CAPTURING THE ZEITGEIST INA FICHMAN I am always looking for stories that touch the hearts and minds of viewers; stories that are in the zeitgeist.” “ Ina Fichman’s 25-year career boasts a slew of award-winning documentaries, films and interactive digital projects.

  • CBC's Trickster Shows How Indigenous Storytelling Has Developed
    OPINION CBC’s Trickster shows how Indigenous storytelling has developed DREW HAYDEN TAYLOR SPECIAL TO THE GLOBE AND MAIL PUBLISHED 1 DAY AGOUPDATED DECEMBER 16, 2020 Based on Eden Robinson’s bestselling novel, Trickster follows an Indigenous teen struggling to support his dysfunctional family as myth, magic, and monsters slowly infiltrate his life. CBC The recent TV adaptation of Eden Robinson’s clever novel Son of a Trickster was amazing for two reasons. First, it demonstrated how far contemporary Indigenous storytelling has come from its days hanging around the campfire and kitchen table. Secondly, the fact that it mixed the real with the surreal was a great watershed moment. Stories like that take chances. It goes down avenues that a few decades ago would have seemed unlikely. It embraces the fantastic. Co-written and directed by Michelle Latimer, the show (Trickster, on CBC) explores the difficult life of a teenager who discovers his father is Wee’git, the Heiltsuk trickster. And that comes with a lot of personal and supernatural problems. Who knew? Much like Robinson, authors such as Cherie Dimaline are exploring what could have been, not necessarily what was or is. Dimaline’s novel, The Marrow Thieves, is a dystopian novel where the dominant culture has lost the ability to dream, and now seek Indigenous bone marrow to alleviate the problem. Another author, Waubgeshig Rice, wrote the highly popular The Moon of the Crusted Snow, which takes place in an alternate version of now, after the electrical grid goes down, leaving the inhabitants of a fly-in reserve desperate to find a way to survive.
