Emotional ArithmeticSaturday May 31, 2008 Collins Hall, Bowen Island |
|
In our troubled times of polarized politics and debilitating war, this extraordinary film (adapted from the novel by the late Matt Cohen) by Canadian director Paolo Barzman asks how we heal emotional wounds that linger after great upheaval. Portrayed by a masterful ensemble cast featuring Susan Sarandon, Christopher Plummer, Max von Sydow, Gabriel Byrne, and Roy Dupuis, the film’s characters gather in the idyllic locale of Quebec’s Eastern Townships to reflect upon another time when the world was in great peril. After being separated during the Second World War, three people must find the strength to face tragedy and reclaim the friendships that transformed their lives. "... Emotional Arithmetic could never be replicated because it is a moment in time when the talent, the setting and the story came together perfectly." John Powell, Cineplex Entertainment
