A Film House presentation
THE GRAND SEDUCTION
Canada, 2013. Directed by Don Mckellar. 107 min. R.
Starring: Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, Sean San Jose
Celebrating National Canadian Film Day!
CanFilmDay gives us a chance to get together and celebrate films made in Canada, by Canadians. Our stories give us strength, and our diversity and creativity are worth showing up for.
The Grand Seduction is a funny and fresh English-language adaptation of the 2003 Quebecois comedy La grande séduction, this film tells the tale of a small fishing village in Newfoundland that must secure a new doctor to keep the community alive.
When city doctor Paul Lewis arrives for a court-ordered trial residence, the townsfolk rally to charm and hoodwink him into staying. Under the guidance of an unemployed fisherman, they go to hilarious lengths to fabricate all the amenities of the big city and make it seem as though their sleepy town has everything Dr. Lewis could possibly want. Will the good doc fall for their tricks, or will he see through them to the truth about small town life?
“A fish-out-of-water fable set within a fabulously scenic backdrop.” Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
