I’ll admit I’m pretty old-fashioned and, even in today’s evil world, I cling to the hope there are still good-hearted people out there somewhere. This is one of those movies keeping that hope alive. Let the soft side of you out and enjoy this film.

Last Night (1998)
One of the unsung heroes of late 20th century/early 21st century indie cinema is Don McKellar. I was first introduced to his writing and support roles through his work with Francois Girard on the films “The Red Violin” and “Thirty-Two Short Films About Glenn Gould” and his scene stealing performance as Darren Nichols in the Canadian TV series “Slings and Arrows”. “Last Night” represents McKellar going out on his own for the first time and producing an bold and inspiring original piece of film.
The title “Last Night” refers to the end of the Earth and civilization. In the heart of Toronto, several figures are coping with the inevitable Armageddon. Patrick (McKellar) is a loner who reluctantly gets in touch with his family, including his sister Jennifer (Sarah Polley) and their parents (Roberta Maxwell and Robin Gammell). Sandra (Sandra Oh) is on her way home when her car is destroyed and she ends up stranded. Sandra’s husband Duncan (David Cronenberg) works for the power company and calls every one his customers assuring them that the heat will be turned on all night. His secretary Donna (Tracy Wright aka the late Mrs. McKellar) wants to sow her wild oats. Patrick’s friend Craig (Callum Keith Rennie) is spending his last hours trying to have various types of sex with different women, in particular he and Patrick’s old French teacher Mme. Carlton (Genevieve Bujold). In the Earth’s last 6 hours of existence, these people’s lives will intersect, affecting whatever time they have left.
I have mentioned in previous posts that I am not a big fan of Canadian cinema as a whole. However, “Last Night” falls under my personal and exclusive class of Canadian films that are well written, acted and directed. McKellar’s very original story fills things with tension and unpredictability. The scenes of rioting and mayhem in the streets are purely heartbreaking and makes “The Purge” films look like child’s play. Coming out the same year as the horrid disaster flick “Armageddon”, McKellar’s own story about Armageddon doesn’t go off into the depths of maudlin soap opera hysterics and cheap special effects. Each character has their different traits with an aura of humanity. You want to know more about these characters in a matter of the 6 hour window of time and the feel of humanity’s death sentence cuts like a knife to the heart.
As Patrick, Don McKellar is terrific. He doesn’t overact, but rather makes good use of underacting to convincingly show his character’s hermit status. Callum Keith Rennie, in his Genie Award winning performance as Craig provides the comedy relief to counteract Patrick’s dramatics. The scene where he writes on the walls his various sexual dreams, he manages to keep a straight face, which is the mark of a good acting job. He is almost a precursor to Richard Coyle’s perverted character Jeff on the British TV series “Coupling”. David Cronenberg joins the group of directors that make good actors like John Huston with his soft spoken and timid Duncan. Not diminishing these performances at all, Sandra Oh’s namesake character puts these three to shame at key moments. She is probably the most true to life person in the whole film. Taking a simple plot line of a helpless woman, Oh manages to turn her role into a fascinating character study. If there was a performance that deserved the Genie Award, it’s her work on this film.
In addition to Oh and Rennie’s Genie Award wins, Don McKellar won the Claude Jutra Award for Best First Feature, an irony considering that Jutra was a sub-par director, but that’s another discussion. The film received an additional 10 nominations including 3 for McKellar in the Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay categories, as well as two Supporting Actress nominations for Roberta Maxwell and Genevieve Bujold. It lost the majority of the awards to another film that McKellar was involved with, “The Red Violin”. McKellar won the Award of the Youth at the Cannes Film Festival and various awards around Canada. “Last Night” remains an unexpected, yet well deserved nugget in Canadian film history and also a film that should be made more aware to international audiences.
8.5/10

Rituals is a 1977 Canadian slasher film directed by Peter Carter, and starring Hal Holbrook, Lawrence Dane, and Robin Gammell. It centers on a group of doctors who are stalked and murdered while on a wilderness trip in remote Northern Ontario. The film was also released under the alternate title The Creeper.actually it is a very effective thriller sort of like Deliverance. I recommend the full 1hr 40 min uncut version. Not the crude public domain(?) shorter cut up version called creeper. Hal Holibrook plays the only DR with ethics. The others are not. So who survives? This is more of a thriller than a horror movie.

Året er 1992. DR har indkaldt til møde om DR Dramas nyeste serie-satsning.
Producent fra DR (DR): Vi skal havde overført Bjarne O. Henriksen og Gert Henriksen novelle om Gøngehøvdingen til en tv-serie på 13 episoder. Nogen forslag?
Manuskriptforfatter (M): Ja, vi kunne jo gå tilbage og lave research på Svensker-krigene og tage interessante karakterer og begivenheder fra bogen og bruge serie-formatets længere spilletid til virkelig at udvikle nogen interessante karakterer, og et plot der både er medrivende og giver seerne en indlevelse i hvordan livet var i 1600-tallet…
DR: Jeg stopper dig lige der. Hvad med et plot om en tønde?
M: En tønde…
DR: Ja og over 13 episoder. Gøngehøvdingen og hans håndlanger skal transportere en tønde med penge fra den ene ende af Danmark til den anden.
M: Er det ikke lidt tyndt?
DR: Nej, nej. Og så får vi Søren Pilmark til at spille Gøngehøvdingen, og Per Pallesen til at spille hans håndlanger Ib.
M: Ja okay.
DR: Og Søren Pilmark skal være den lækre bad boy – altså vi tænker lidt Kevin Costner i Robin Hood Prince of Thieves her ikke? Og så skal Per Pallesen være det sjove sidekick du ved.
M: Er Per Pallesen ikke lidt, ja undskyld, gammel til den rolle? DR: Overhovedet ikke. Og og og det er meget vigtigt at siden Per Pallesen skal være den sjove, så skal Søren Pilmark bare være heelt tør. Det er meget vigtigt at han siger sine linjer så monotomt og ugideligt som overhovedet muligt. Hvis han lyder som om han hele tiden er lige ved at falde i søvn eller tænker på hvornår han kan få den næste kop kaffe, så er bare helt perfekt.
Instruktør (I): Og hvad med musiksiden? Hvem tænker vi vil være den rette til at komponere for Radiosymfoniorkesteret? Bent Fabricius Bjerre er jo næsten blevet hofkomponist siden Matador, men han er måske ikke helt den rette…
DR: Sebastian.
I: Hvem?
DR: Sebastian. Ham der har skrevet den der sang Romeo. Han er virkelig god på en guitar.
I: Men Gøngehøvdingen foregår jo i 1650. Sebastian er mere sådan Højskolesangbogen og fællessang på guitar.
DR: Jamen så giver vi ham et keyboard.
I: Det var 1650 jeg sagde…
DR: Og husk at sige til ham at vi maks. behøver fem stykker musik fra ham.
I: Altså sådan hele symfonier mener du? DR: Nej to til tre minutter rækker.
I: Jamen så bliver scoret jo bare en lang række af gentagelser.
DR: Netop. Ligesom vores sendeflade. Seerne kan ikke så godt li’ det der med fornyelse.
Caster (C): Hvilke skuespillere skal vi caste? Svenskekrigene giver god rig mulighed for at lave en af de der pan-skandinaviske produktioner der kan kaste nogen svenske og norske støttepenge i vores slunkne produktionskasse.
DR: Alle skuespillere skal være danskere.
C: Øh, også de svenske soldater? DR: Ja da. Svensk er et ukendt sprog som ingen danskere kan forstå, og der er alligevel ingen der gider at se tv hvor de skal læse undertekster.
M: Og du er helt sikker på at 13 episoder ikke er for lang tid til at fortælle en historie der uden besvær kunne foregå over en normal halvanden times spillefilmslængde? Det er jo altså ikke ligefrem Ringenes Herre vi er i gang med at filmatisere.
DR: Du trækker bare det skidt så langt du kan. Seerne. Kan. Ikke. Li’. Nye. Ting!
Det er også meget vigtigt at Per Pallesen hele tiden spiser. Og hvis han ikke spiser så skal han tale om at mad, eller beklage sig over hvor dårligt han har det. Det bliver pisse sjovt. Og så skal vi ha’ en joke med at han brækker en tand fordi han ikke børster tænder.
Historiker (H): Jeg er ked af at bryde ind, men tandbørsten blev først opfundet i 1780.
DR: Bwah, historie – plistorie. Det skidt er jo sjovt. Det gælder om humor og underholdning det her.
M: Jeg tror ikke du forstår hvad de ord betyder.
DR: Og siden det er underholdning, så skal vi have masser af kampscener og action.
I: Så skal vi have et højere budget.
C: Jeg tager straks kontakt til Det Svenske Filminstitut…
DR: Vent, vent, vent. Vi klarer det seelv! Vi spiller bare noget af det der festlige intromusik som Sebastian har komponeret over nogen scener hvor Søren Pilmark hopper lidt rundt med et sværd, og så hyrer vi dem der laver fyrværkeri for Tivoli til at komme at komme ind i et par timer. Action er pisse let.
I: Altså ikke nogen kamptræning eller stuntmænd? DR: Stuntmænd? Nej, nej det er der slet ikke brug for. Måske en enkelt mand til at rappelle ned af Gåsetårnet.
I: Oookaaay…
DR: Og så her instruktør, så er er det meget – jeg mener meeeget – vigtigt at du instruere alle skuespillerne i at spille teaterskuespil. Sådan helt børneteater, hvor det bliver helt fjollet og utroværdigt at se på. Vi er jo trods en public service-kanal, og det betyder vi også skal underholde de 10-årige.
I: 7-årige.
DR: Ja også dem. (Rejser et glas champagne) Det bliver pisse godt det her. Kan i ikke mærke det?
Alle: Ikke rigtig… men bare vi får vores betaling.
DR: Hov vent, før i går så skal i også huske at skrive en sang som Per Pallesen kan synge.
M: Sådan musicalagtig?
DR: Ja, netop! Og måske en heks der kan lave sådan noget overnaturligt. Måske vække en død mand tilbage til live.
