Savoy Theater
Set in suburban (and very Catholic) Quebec of the 1960s and ‘70s, Jean-Marc Vallee’s energetic and poignant coming-of-age story covers 20 years in the life of Zac, born on Christmas Day 1960. Despite his father Gervais’ attempts to raise a straight son, he’s unable to sway Zac’s interest in playing with baby carriages and dressing up with Mom’s pearls. When Zac’s teen years collide with the changing culture of the ‘70s, Zac and the loving but uncomprehending Gervais engage in a ferocious battle of wills, with sympathetic Mom in the middle. Seattle Film Festival: “Zac’s story is a triumphant one, about an ordinary family, parental love, outsiders struggling to find their place in the world and the challenges of being different.” Sponsored by Buch Spieler. Community Partners: Outright Vermont, RU12? Rated R, 128 minutes, in French with subtitles. Read more
