Behind this film lies the premise that while Hitchcok was filming I
Confess in Montreal in the 1960s, a local family were constructing
their own Hitchcockian movie. Thirty years later, Daniel (Lothaire
Bluteau, 'Jesus of Montreal') returns home for his father's funeral,
determined to find his adopted brother, and unravel the mystery behind
his adoption. His brother is working as a rent boy, and a series of
co-incidences embroils them in a mystery that cuts across time. Robert
Lepage writes and directs with intelligence which verges on the
exclusive. Bluteau is superb as the painter losing his eyesight and his
family identity. Also features Kristin Scott Thomas as Hitchcock's
Francophone assistant.
