Movie #2 in our 🇨🇦 #Canadian film fest: Bruce McDonald’s follow up to Roadkill, Highway 61 (1991). This one has everything: stubbies, BTO, Canadians mispronouncing American cities, guns, Satan. A little like Jim Jarmusch, eh?
Oh, and Jello Biafra as a US customs agent! Get well, Jello!
New 🧵 of our 🇨🇦 film fest.
Kicked things off with an old favorite from the Toronto New Wave: Bruce McDonald’s 1989 classic, Roadkill.
This is the Canadian version of Apocalypse Now, set in Northern Ontario.

Just watched the movie Fortescue. It's on CBC Gem. Recommended.
Today’s Oscar nominee announcement includes several Canadians across many categories.
As an animation fan, I’d like to draw amplify the contributions of two Canadian institutions that have been nurturing Canadian animators.
- National Film Board of Canada received its 79th nomination for funding *The Girl who cried Pearls*
- two graduates of Sheridan College in the Great Toronto Area received nominations as writers and co-directors of best animated feature (*KPop Demon Hunters* and *Elio*)
The stop-motion fable “The Girl Who Cried Pearls” by Montreal’s Chris Lavis and Maciek Szczerbowski earned a nod for best animated short film. Also among the nominees, which are being announced this morning, is Montreal’s Alison McAlpine, who is nominated for best documentary short for “Perfectly a Strangeness.”
One of my favourite movie scenes of all time is the "Prepare to tremble" scene in Highway 61 with Earl Pastko as Mr Skin / Satan.
It is entirely reason in itself to watch the movie.
The soundtrack is magnificent, too.
(Otherwise, and I say this with love in my heart, the film is very much a Canadian indie film from 1991.)
