Barbarella chats with Raymond St-Jean about DUSK FOR A HITMAN

Hi, My friends. Barbara here. Did You know that There is A new drama about A hitman future has Digital And On Request tomorrow, April 19? French language movie DUSK FOR A HITMAN can be base on A TRUE history, but he understand It is share of fiction. Writing by Martin Gerard And Raymonde St-Jean, WHO Also directed, THE movie transportation the viewers back has THE late 70s, early 80 years as THE most feared hitman In Montreal find himself A target.

Do No error. This East not A John Wick action packed assault on your sense. No, DUSK FOR A HITMAN plants himself firmly In THE kingdom of drama.

While I as THE movie, servings of THE history feel enough familiar has Me because I recently finished THE Max. series TOKYO VICE, which understand A similar narrative around A bandit And her brother WHO wanna has be In THE life. I feel It is unfair has compare THE two, because they handle THE subject differently, And THE series has THE time has Really flesh out THE characters And situations on several episodes. THE added time granted allow A Deeper connection has THE characters that DUSK FOR A HITMAN Duration provides. That said, Erik Bruneau performance as A in conflict man Really improved THE movies impact. THE movie Also beautifully capture THE atmosphere of THE time And delete THE charm Since THE bandit way of life.

I had THE opportunity has talk with director And co-writer Raymonde St-Jean. Check he out, my the friends !

This movie East base on A real person, And I was just wondering, how a lot time did You spend Speaking with THE real Donald?

"None. I have Never encounter him. First of all, has THE time, he was always In hidden. We doesn't know how has get has him. HAS A indicate, We decided not has talk has THE real people In THE real history. We selected has go Since THE newspaper articles, THE books there were, And THE little interviews he do has to try has imagine THE history of THE man. We just went along with that. We Never Really request ourselves THE question After, because We had This idea that each side would be say her own history, And they would be be very different Since each other. HAS A indicate, We encounter A judge, And She said We, "These people, they lie all THE time. They are all narcissists, And they will to try has to use You, And You can reform things. They will lie has you."

"It is not Winston Churchill; It is A criminal And murderer, SO We felt free has take THE history Since THE newspapers. THE history bow East real. All THE plot points are there, And these things arrived. Of course, We amended characters And amended a few events, but It is kind of TRUE. We said, "GOOD, let's go say THE history of This man as We imagine he, And maybe GOOD be close has reality."

« Gangster life East A boring life, I think. It is not that interesting, And these guys are not that interesting, in general. But Donald The way was maybe A exception, because he was charismatic. He was very clever. And It is Why We do A movie about him. Also, There is THE do that When her career finished After THE tests, he just disappeared And Never engaged A crime Again, not even A car park ticket, they say. SO It is Also A part It is very fascinating. He is A fascinating character, but I think We to have has give ourselves THE freedom has TO DO things up When TO DO fiction. »

RIGHT. East he popular In Canada? Do A plot of people know about him, Or not Really ?

"HAS THE time When THE tests arrived, he was known. He do This famous interview It is always available. HAS THE END, We kind of recreated THE interview with Eric, but It is always available on THE the Internet. It is A half hour interview, And It is impressive And Also A reason Why We do THE movie. Identifier seen he A long time There is, And When I begin THE research, I look at he Again. And SO, Yeah, has answer your question, he was kind of forget. Forty years East A long time."
