CRAZY: Zachary Beaulieu is the second youngest brother of five burdened with a unique set of problems due to his birthday landing on Christmas. Gervais, his disapproving father, is an even greater source of distress for Zac as he becomes teenager & begins exploring his budding sexuality!

Marc-Andre Grondin as Zachary Beaulieu, the youngest of five brothers, in C.R.A.Z.Y. (2005). Marc was born in Montreal and has 48 acting credits from an episode of a 1989 French Canadian tv series at five years old, to three 2022 credits. His entry among my best 1,001 movies is Goon, as hockey player Xavier LaFlamme. Most of his credits are French-Canadian.

impressions of l’homme qui rit (2012)
i FINALLY watched it after searching for a very long time. holy shit, it is amazing. go watch it. you will not regret it. everything-- the costume design, the character, the colour schemes, the costume design, was incredible. really my only issue was with tone. sometimes the film couldn’t decide whether it wanted to be serious or silly.   
sylvain. i love sylvain with my whole heart. also, dea? i didn’t think one person could be that pretty but apparently i was wrong. christa theret is a goddess. i also really liked what this movie did with the character of barkilphedro. he wasn’t really scheming and wily like in the book. he was more... tired. like he was very fed-up with the nobles being so damn dramatic all the time. and of course, how could i forget about gwynplaine himself? he has so much personality in this version! he has this flair that other adaptations don’t give him. you can tell that he loves being a performer. he has this panache to him that i really, really like. he also basically said eat the rich so i am under moral obligation to support him even more. 
in conclusion: 8/10. go watch it, i’ve posted the link.

After the Ball (Canada, 2015)
Tumblr media
Predictions: Well… The title obviously led Alex to predict that this was some kind of Cinderella story. Kat agreed but wondered why, then, the movie did not focus on the ball itself but rather, it would seem, on after the ball. We've always suspected that the "after the ball" of Cinderella was rather less fun than during the ball. Except for the part where she's no longer under the thumb of her abusive stepfamily. That part is probably more fun.
Plot: Indeed, most of this movie took place before the ball. What a misleading title.
Portia Doubleday is an aspiring fashion designer whose father happens to be the head of a...knockoff clothing line? in Canada. She can't find a job in fashion, because of her father's bad name, so she goes home to take him up on his job offer. However, their relationship is a bit strained, because her father (Chris Noth!) is still grieving her mother's death (we later learn), and also in no small part because her stepmother is the worst person alive.
(Her stepsisters, on the other hand, are more like the dumbest people alive.)
Portia Doubleday is talented and extremely clumsy, like all heroines, ever. But like, so clumsy, you guys. It's weird that she's still alive and in possession of all her limbs. Basically, the second she arrives back at Dad Chris Noth's company, she runs into a door and meets Marc-André Grondin. He's nice. He's French. Whatever. She goes on to make another friend, David Michael, and very briefly it seems like she's going to succeed and also do good things for Chris Noth's company. BUT THEN, of course, she is sabotaged by the Step-Evils and gets fired.
What would you do in this situation, readers? Well, if you're Portia Doubleday, you assume a new identity as a gay man and go undercover to get re-hired at your father's company. (Okay, actually this was her godmother's harebrained scheme, not her own, but she did AGREE TO DO IT.) Shenanigans ensue, including 1) David Michael hitting on her and 2) her forgetting her disguise and trying to kiss Marc-André Grondin, and she also manages to bond a bit with Chris Noth, who weirdly opens up to this strange young man about his issues with his daughter and sadness about his dead wife. Cool. Cool cool.
Anyway, so it turns out that, in addition to trying to sabotage Portia Doubleday, Step-Evil Mom is also trying to sabotage the entire company and sell it out to Chris Noth's biggest rival, Colin Mochrie. Cooooool. Cool cool. Obviously, eventually they catch her at this, blah blah blah. All the non-Step-Evil characters live happily ever after.
Best Scene: In a pleasant twist for...oh, anything Hollywood has ever made, Marc-André Grondin really does not seem to mind that a guy tried to kiss him. In a scene immediately following the almost-kiss with male!Portia Doubleday, he's like, yeah whatever, it's not the first time someone's thought I was gay. True, he does work in a fashion house, but still, refreshing that he didn't have a homophobic meltdown, as oh, so many male characters would.
Worst Scene: The same scene, because seconds after the above-described moment, they begin bonding, and he tells male!Portia Doubleday about regular!Portia Doubleday, and it's like...just...gross. SHE'S JUST SO ~SPECIAL, YOU GUYS. Blergh.
Best Line: "Just because you assumed a fake identity and have been living a double life?" -- David Michael, hilariously and sarcastically, in response to Portia Doubleday's concern that her father won't trust/believe (either version of) her. Lolololol.
Worst Line: All of the lines delivered in Portia Doubleday's weird fake guy voice. Why are female protagonists always pretending to be men and doing SUCH A BAD JOB???? Just be a person. God.
Highlights of the Watching Experience: So, Portia Doubleday's godmother owns a vintage clothing shop, and seems to...live? work? with a very gay man, Carlo Rota. Is Carlo Rota...her husband???? Her...friend? Her colleague?? Her brother???? We may have missed something, as this movie was a bit dull and we tuned out from time to time, but, if so, the result was that we spent the rest of the movie wondering constantly what relation he was.
How Many POC in the Film: One Asian designer that Portia Doubleday pretended her male alter-ego had worked for. Aaaand...that's it. Not great.
Alternate Scenes: Meh.
Was the Poster Better or Worse than the Film: Hard to say… The poster doesn't look, honestly, like it's for a much better movie, but it does suggest more of a romcom than the movie we watched, and that we certainly would have preferred. Also, Kat's pretty disappointed, because the sparkles on this poster make it look like there would be magic in this film, but this movie was decidedly unmagical. Unless you consider it magical, as we do, that no one ever suspects disguised!Portia Doubleday AT ALL, except for the Step-Evils??
Score: 4 out of 10 why-did-Chris-Noth-agree-to-do-this-movie smooches. Seriously, though. It's not like the man is hurting for money, right????
Ranking: 72, out of the 108 movies we’ve seen so far. Dull. Certainly not good. But inoffensive.
