ROADKILL (DVD MOVIE)

Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars a fine example of Canadian cinema!.......2004-08-14

Roadkill is the first part of a loosely connected rock `n' roll/road movie trilogy by Canadian filmmaker Bruce McDonald. The movie was something of a breath of fresh air when it debuted because Canadian film had, up until then, been traditionally known as notoriously boring or, worse, derivative of American movies. McDonald managed to fuse the low budget aesthetics of the emerging U.S. indie film movement with a distinctively Canadian take on the road movie genre.

Extras include a nine-minute short film by McDonald called "Elimination Dance," starring McKellar as a man who attends a dance marathon with couples being eliminated for hilariously bizarre reasons like "anyone who's lost a urine sample in the mail."

Next up is another McDonald short film entitled "Fort Goof" that runs six and half minutes long. The director holds a casting call for a role in a movie. A roomful of women audition and give all kinds of different readings of the same lines of dialogue.

A small collection of behind-the-scenes photographs can be accessed in the "Photo Gallery" section.

Finally, the highlight of the supplemental material is an audio commentary by actor/screenwriter Don McKellar and the film's producer Colin Brunton. They fondly recount anecdotes about making the movie. This is a good track as both men talk constantly and impart a genuine enthusiasm and humour about their movie.

Roadkill is an excellent example of Canadian cinema. While it adopts a distinctly American genre like the road movie, it remains uniquely Canadian in content (except for the presence of Joey Ramone) and attitude. Bruce McDonald remains one of the unsung heroes of the Canadian film scene, often overshadowed by its more well-known figures, David Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan and Denys Arcand. McDonald has remained fiercely independent over the years, supplementing his film career with a prolific one in Canadian television. Roadkill is an excellent example of his early work and an engaging, entertaining movie in its own right.

I first saw this movie on the cbc about 12 years ago or so. Then, in my late teens, it really had an affect on me. This is probably the best black and white, Canadian, rock and roll road movie you'll ever see. I think it still holds up after all these years.
The story follows Ramona, who works for a concert promoter, to northern Ontario. She's there to find the Children of Paradise and bring them back to Toronto so they can stop wasting the promoters money. Along the way she meets Don McKellar, a serial killer and Bruce MacDonald, a music video director. There's even a cameo from Joey Ramone.
The ending is a little goofy but I really like this movie. It's not for everyone, though. Fans of the late 80's independant movement (music and film) should take note.

        3 out of 5 stars Stupid the Clown Steals the Show!.......2005-06-03

        Nick Hearcy, as the aforementioned clown, steals everything he's in. Fine actor. Would like to see him in other films. Jeff Pillars is another actor who does a bang up turn as a sleazy motel clerk. Andy Boswell is entirely believable in the cameo he turns in as a gas station owner about to face a nasty situation--that he may, or may not be able to get out of.
        and then there's the other scene stealing actor: Duke Ernsberger, the same actor who turned in a solid performance as a psychopath in the low-budget Super 8 flick entitled Killer.

        While I can truly admire and respect all the hard work that goes into making a poverty row flick (this one cost 18 grand) i can't help but mention what kept this one from becoming a real winner, ala Henry: Portrait of a Serial killer.
        First of all, the music doesn't work here at all, not for what is supposed to be a chiller/thriller serial killer flick. Instead of underscoring/punching-up the dread and mayhem going on on the screen, the music here goes entirely against the grain and pulls the film down. i am surprised that the director never noticed this at all.
        Play some of Bernard Hermann's stuff, some of John Carpenter's scores, etc. am not saying that the Roadkill score is absolutely worthless, just merely saying that it does not belong here as the score for this type of movie. My feeling applies to the score for Killer as well. It was simply awful and hurt the film.

        the other thing i thought hurt this film is quite a bit of the dialogue with Sean Bridgers; it just goes on a bit too long and hurts the pacing. Exposition, via dialogue, in a film like this, does nothing but hurt the story by slowing it down.
        All in all, not a bad B-flick.

        I say do a whole film about Stupid the Clown!!! You guys got a winner there for sure.
