In one sense, why should
anyone care what Victoria (Pierrette Robitaille — Mambo Italiano, Laura
Cadieux ... La Suite, etc.) and Flo (Romane Bohringer — The
Apartment, Savage Nights, Total Eclipse) do with their lives …
or, for that matter, to one another.
From one look at them you
can plainly see two women who seem to wear the mileage of their lives on their
faces. They’ve travel rough roads. Seedy bars and prison have been stops along
the way.
They are the subjects of
writer/director Denis Côté’s award-winning drama, Vic + Flo Saw a Bear,
which is heading to DVD on June 17 from New York City-based KimStim.
Victoria Champagne, the
name sort of rolls off the tongue, is fresh from a stint in prison and now
seeks the solitude of rural Quebec by moving in with her infirmed uncle Émile
(Georges Molnar). He doesn’t talk
(can’t) and she doesn’t have much to say.
It has all the makings of a perfect living arrangement.
It is here that she hooks
up with Flo, who has also done some time.
It doesn’t take long for one to get the feeling that they would like
nothing more than to enjoy each other’s company and the quiet of the seemingly
idyllic locale.
But life, people and
circumstances have a way of intruding … and that would include the likes of
Victoria’s parole officer (Marc-André Grondin),
a strange woman that just shows up (Marie Brassard) and a fat man who seems to be following her. They will combine to change everything!
