Bluff is the lie that tells the truth By Burton Taylor Lance Writer November 14, 2007 Bluff is a Windsor International Film Festival premiere. Written and directed by Simon-Olivier Fecteau and Marc-Andre Lavoie, Bluff is a French-Canadian indie comedy that recently opened in Quebec with great success. It features an ensemble of Quebec actors who, though undoubtedly unfamiliar, are uniformly excellent in the movie.
The film opens on a young building inspector (Jean-Philippe Pearson) touring an apartment before demolition and discovers something in the floor space of the kitchen, the exact contents wisely concealed from us. The landlord (Raymound Bouchard) is called, surveys the scene and promptly calls the police. Until the police respond, we’re treated to a series of stories amounting to 15 years of tenants who lived in the apartment prior. >> |
