A Classic Film About Life!
The Barbarian Invasions film isn’t anything that I was prepared for. The cast is superb and entirely French Canadian so I don’t know anybody. They are very realistic in their performances as the friends and family come together to celebrate the life of Professor Remy Girard before he leaves them all. The film is a classic ensemble piece of great acting, directing, and writing. Still, Remy has to come to terms with his life and inevitable death. He is reunited with his ex mistresses, friends including a gay couple, his son and daughter-in-law, and his understanding ex-wife. I loved Dorothee Berryman’s performance as Louise, his ex wife. The mistresses are also well-performed by veteran French Canadian actresses Louise Portal and Dominique Michel. The film has it’s humor although dark but worth it. The friends and family are there to celebrate his life and will mourn his loss inevitably. The film is also an indictment on the Canadian health care system and it’s failures as well as illegal drug use and euthanasia or dying with dignity as is the case. The film also suggests life’s meaning especially Remy’s legacy. The conversation can be offensive and critical of life in general. What is the best to follow and live?
