Details: Amazon.ca A brilliant jack-of-all-trades, Robert Lepage is an artist in the full sense of the term. By himself adapting The Hidden Face of the Moon, the play he had written and directed, for the cinema, he also explored the new stylistic possibilities of digital high definition and made use of his sense of images and visual sequences. Philippe is 42 years old, preparing a doctoral thesis in philosophy on narcissism as a source of motivation for the conquest of space and supplements his income thanks to telephone solicitation. When his mother died, his rivalry with his brother André, weather presenter for a television station in Quebec City, the only remaining member of his family, escalated. Putting his inventiveness for the direction at the service of an astonishing text, at the same time cynical, disillusioned and imbued with humor, Robert Lepage makes the speech between the two brothers on their lives, their differences, the infinite and the daily life, a skilful parable of the struggle between nations to master space. A convincing actor, he plays the roles of the two brothers himself. Awarded the International Critics' Prize in Berlin, a Genie for its script and a Jutra for its make-up, The Dark Side of the Moon is a brilliant film, extremely imaginative and imbued with irresistible whimsical poetry. – Helen Faradji.
