That Cold Day in The Park
The work of Canadian Bruce LaBruce has been acclaimed in the US and France, and have been shown at prestigious festivals, but the filmmaker remains relatively unknown in the Land of the Maple Leaf. This retrospective, the largest ever organized in Canada, will allow us to measure the audacity and exuberance of LaBruce's work while depicting all the variations of sexuality on screen, from gay eroticism to transgression. Here is a subversive, pleasurable and combative queer cinema which will leave no one indifferent.
A young, wealthy spinster invites a mute teenager into her apartment after finding him freezing in the park. Despite her efforts, their lack of communication only increases her sense of loneliness, as her possessiveness spirals into frightening new realms.
