    20H17 RUE DARLING (2003)
    directed by Bernard Émond
    starring Luc Picard, Guylaine Tremblay, Diane Lavallée

    One evening, a man walks home and has to tie up his laces and misses his bus. When he gets home he sees his building on fire, an explosion occured and he realizes that if he hadnt missed the bus he would have died in the explosion. He starts looking for an answer but falls back in old patern of alcoholism and befriend with a single mom who cant see her kids anymore.

    20h17 rue Darling is a poignant drama with extreme depth. Not much is going on cause its mostly about one man's journey to find out why he is still aline but there is no reason for that, its just a coincidence. He doesnt start living life to the fullest he becomes even more depressed than he actually was befiore but will grow a lot with the events in the end. Its always intriguing and somehow disturbing cause Bernard Émond is a former documentarist and he shoots his film with lots of realism.

    Luc Picard is strong as usual and he looks ugly and tired like his character. He is compeltely commited to his character and it shows. Guylaine Tremblay is suprising here, cuase was mostly known for comedic roles but she pulls the troubled mom very well. Very deep and thoughtful.

    La narration omniprésente vient par moments alourdir une trame déjà pesante, mais la quête de lumière de cet homme égaré est d'une philosophie singulière à laquelle il fait bon se frotter.

    Y'a quelque chose de carrément insultant de devoir sa vie à un lacet détaché.

    Un autre film qui s'inscrit dans la lignée de la grande poésie cinématographique québécoise, toutefois sans atteindre l'essence divine de Léolo. C'est un beau traité de philosophie que de voir Luc Picard, encore une fois unique, investiguer sur le sens le plus profond de la vie, combiné à la fatalité du destin.

    Car c'est sur cette même fatalité que la morale du film porte, et c'est cette morale qui donne tout son sens au film, qui nous entraîne de temps en temps dans des longueurs inappropriées. Toutefois, suite à la morale, on les excuse un peu plus facilement, puisque la leçon de vie n'est pas si facile à digérer qu'elle en a l'air.

    Et puis, après tout, c'est le seul film que j'ai vu de ma vie qui parle de St-Jérôme!

    Une histoire de questions ... qui se déroule bien. Luc Picard est impeccable dans son interprétation. Intriguant jusqu'au bout.... ou plutôt jusqu'à rien. Mais ce n'est pas vraiment un reproche... puisque dans la vie, on a pas toujours de réponses.
