Come True
The latest from Our House director Burns is a stylish, hallucinatory, and quietly unnerving experience that might actually benefit from being viewed alone in the dark. Vancouver actor Julia Sarah Stone (

Death Of A Ladies’ Man
Starring Gabriel Byrne. Directed by Matthew Bissonnette. Streaming online at VIFF Connect from Friday (March 12) to May 6.
Canadian writer-director Matthew Bissonnette’s surrealistic drama a Canadian-Irish coproduction casts Gabriel Byrne as Samuel O’Shea, a McGill poetry professor in Montreal who starts experiencing vivid, thematically relevant hallucinations as the result of a malignant brain tumour.
Sometimes his dead father (Brian Gleeson) turns up for a chat. Sometimes people around him burst into song. (As the title implies, a certain Leonard Cohen album factors heavily in the storytelling.)
Leonard Cohen s songs, spirit infuse Montreal-shot film Death of a Ladies Man Matthew Bissonnette has paid homage to the Montreal icon before, but his new film takes the tribute to another level.
