Last Night (AA)

Famous Players Quinte Mall Cinemas

(CANADA, 1998)
  Armed with a grand spirit, a stellar cast, and a subtle but wicked sense of humour, Don McKellar bursts onto the international stage with this deeply moving directorial debut. Last Night transcends its epic subject matter in a way Hollywood couldn't fathom.
  As we approach the millennium, nay-sayers run around whipping up hysteria with doom and gloom theories. Meanwhile, McKellar calmly asks: What would you do if it was your last night on earth?
  The answers take his characters and the audience through a rich emotional spectrum, from the quirky to the inspirational.

Red Violin (AA)

Famous Players 8plex, 160 Bell Blvd.

(CANADA, 1998)
  François Girard's sumptuous The Red Violin is a feast for the eyes and a reward for the heart. Filmed on an epic scale, the story takes place in five countries over three centuries, but Girard and his talented co-scriptwriter, Don McKellar, never lose sight of the intimate nature of the heartrending tale they are telling.
  Like master storytellers, they slowly reveal the treasures of their narrative, immersing us in atmosphere and detail, and in those telling moments which together cohere to make this an unforgettable experience.

A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries

Famous Players 8plex, 160 Bell Blvd.

(UNITED KINGDOM, 1998)
  This Merchant Ivory production tells the story of an American family living in Paris in the mid-sixties. The story is told from the point of view of the daughter Channe Willis, whose father Bill is an ex-patriot novelist and World War II veteran haunted by his experiences in the Pacific.
  Starring Kris Kristoferson and Barbara Hershey. Writer Kaylie Jones based the characters and story on her personal experiences growing up in Paris with her father, novelist James Jones (From Here to Eternity, The Thin Red Line).

  ***½ "NOT ONLY WAS I TOUCHED by the characters and engrossed by their story during the 120 minutes they were on screen, but I could have easily spent another hour or two with them. A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries doesn't tell of anything big or earthshaking, but, in its careful portrayal of life, it offers something equally precious - an insight into the human experience."
