Roadkill (1989)
|
|
Roadkill, one of the most original films to emerge from the Toronto new wave, is director Bruce McDonald’s debut feature. Described as a rock ‘n’ roll road movie, it concerns the adventures of Ramona (Valerie Buhagiar), a naive assistant to a maniacal rock promoter (Gerry Quigley), sent to track down a band called the Children of Paradise who have gone missing in Northern Ontario. She comes across a pot-addled cabbie (Larry Hudson), a rock-video crew led by a director (McDonald) with visions of widescreen grandeur, and an aspiring serial killer (Don McKellar). Ramona eventually does find the band, but it ultimately matters less than what she discovers about herself. - Essential Guide to Canadian Film.
