movie review - Leolo
the journal of Michael Werneburg
twenty-eight years and a million words
Toronto, 1997.02.14
A film from Montreal with that Canadian weirdness-for-the-sake-of-it and depressing French grittiness. Very nicely done. About a boy who grows up in a family from which he escapes by assuming another persona. He feverishly writes everything into his notes (which he discards) as he slides into insanity.
Recommended.
