Event Details
Event type: All Ages
In transforming Goethe’s 18th-century novella about a doomed love affair into the stuff of a stylish, snappy and very modern rom-com, José Avelino Gilles Corbett Lourenço performs what surely qualifies as a magic trick. The charms of the Toronto-based filmmaker and writer’s debut feature are greatly enhanced by the efforts of an exemplary cast led by British actor Douglas Booth and Canada’s own Alison Pill (ALL MY PUNY SORROWS, KCFF22). Booth plays Werther, a literary-minded young man who sees his chance for a grand romance when he meets Charlotte (Pill). Perceiving her engagement to Albert (Patrick J. Adams of Suits) as an obstacle to be overcome, Werther pursues his campaign without fully realizing the costs of his actions until too late. But rather than descend into Goethe’s gloom, Lourenço aims for a very different direction with his reinterpretation, which is as delightful as it is unpredictable.
