Canfilm

Canadian filmmakers make interesting films that actually are distinctly, or rather, uniquely, Canadian without being precious or coy. They’re also often surprisingly kinky, e.g., Atom Egoyan’s Exotica, John Grayson’s Lilies, Robert LePage’s Le Confessional, and Denny Arcand’s Jesus of Montreal, along with the now large and definitely strange opus of David Cronenberg. The problem is that with the exception of Cronenberg and Agoyan, the films aren’t distributed, in Canada or anywhere else. See Jack Valenti
