Shake Hands With The DevilSaturday January 26, 2008 Collins Hall, Bowen Island |
|
The Bowen Island premiere of an extremely powerful film. Canada’s involvement in the ill-fated U.N. peacekeeping mission in 1990’s Rwanda is one of this country’s most documented legacies, but this time it is brought to the screen by acclaimed Canadian director Roger Spottiswoode as a finely wrought drama based on Lieutenant-General Romeo Dallaire’s memoirs. Quebec superstar Roy Dupuis virtually transforms into Dallaire and gives a transcendent performance portraying the beleaguered general with great economy of expression. The opportunity to witness these crucial moments in Canadian history through the lens of dramatic reconstruction should not be missed.113 mins. Rated 14A. "Spottiswoode’s Devil is very well done ... as it shows us this astonishing chapter in world history, through the eyes of Dallaire himself." -- Matthew Hays, Montreal Mirror | |
