The actors in (A Winter Tale) have lived this life and it shows. It is a powerful and intense drama – bitter and tragic, funny and hopeful – with a jolting climax that points to a possible cleansing.
… Not to totally give away the ending or anything — sheesh!
For me, any movie where Toronto doesn’t have to masquerade as some generic city in the US and A is a good thing. And while the storytelling in this urban drama is maybe a bit unsophisticated, you can’t deny that it’s a story that needs to be told.
Whether or not you are a fan of classical music, you will be swept away by (conductor Peter Oundjian’s) passion for the music and his total dedication to the cause of the TSO.
Agreed. I can’t believe that Five Days in September dates back to 2005 and I’m just hearing about Peter Oundjian now… Shame on you, Toronto media!

I’m missing the name of this film.
So much for my nerd school usability training… I thought that linking the stills to the appropriate IMDb pages would be enough but you’re right — it ain’t.
AC:
that first pic cracked me up — I’m sure a lot of transit riders feel that way about TTC employees this week with all that strike talk going on… but I’ll check those movies out just the same.
