Description
Le film nous transporte à Toronto, en 1899, où le jeune politicien Mackenzie King rêve de devenir Premier ministre du Canada. Dans sa quête de pouvoir, King devra satisfaire les attentes de sa mère impérieuse, les fantasmes violents d’un gouverneur général belliqueux et l’idéalisme utopique d’un québécois mystique.
At the dawn of the 20th century, a young William Lyon Mackenzie King negotiates the obstacles on his path on the way to becoming prime minister of his beloved Canada. Then there’s the private life of the statesman, dominated by a rabid cross-dressing mother and torn romantically between a kind Quebec nurse and a female British soldier with heroic ambitions. Not to mention some quirky little fetishes… After his acclaimed Mynarski Death Spiral (2014) and The Tesla World Light Project (2017), Montrealer Matthew Rankin concocts a first feature where warped patriotism is cloaked in irresistible dialogue and visuals.
