MQFF Presents: Midsumma Movies - Solo
In this special encore screening of MQFF33’s Closing Night film, Simon (rising star Théodore Pellerin) is a skilled make-up artist who, by night, is a mainstay of Montreal’s exuberant drag scene. His performances are elevated upon hooking up with the charismatic Olivier (Félix Maritaud), a French drag artiste who becomes his partner on and off stage. Their chemistry is electric... yet might not Olivier be a touch... manipulative – nay, domineering? When word reaches Simon that his long-absent opera diva mother, Claire (Anne-Marie Cadieux) will be passing through town, Simon struggles with validation issues. Are either capable of affording him the respect he so yearns for?
This wonderful character study from writer-director Sophie Dupuis (Underground) is brimming over with authenticity, emotion and – of course – fabulous drag performances!
