Fans of procedural dramas, have in mind that Musée Eden, a TV series created by Gilles Desjardins, will come out on DVD in Canada on October 26. The show was aired this spring, after the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games, on Radio-Canada, a French Canadian public TV network.
In this TV series that takes place in the Montreal of the 1910s, we follow Camille (Mariloup Wolfe) and Florence Courval (Laurence Leboeuf), two sisters who hail from Manitoba. They both decide to come to Montreal in order to inherit the Musée Eden, a crime museum, from their deceased uncle, Félix Courval. However, it appears that Mr. Courval got murdered under very fishy circumstances. Needless to say that the Courval sisters will take interest in solving their uncle's murder.
This will lead the two sisters to come across many people who are interested by the investigation on Félix Courval's murder. In the Montreal police department,...

In one week, the TV series Musée Eden, which is a nine-episode crime drama, will premiere on March 16 at 9 Pm (10 Pm in the Maritimes) on Radio-Canada.
While the show is a crime thriller, it also casts a look at the condition of women during the 1910s. It was written by Gilles Desjardins, directed by Alain DesRochers and produced by Sophie Deschênes.
The story takes place in 1910 in a poor neighbourhood of Montreal where criminality reigns. Camille (Mariloup Wolfe) and Florence (Laurence Leboeuf) Courval leave the province of Manitoba and arrive in Montreal. They inherit from their murdered uncle a museum of wax statues specialized in criminal history. Moreover, the Courval sisters will try to solve the murders that take place in their neighbourhood with the help of Dr Boyer (Paul Doucet), a forensic expert, and Étienne Monestier (Éric Bruneau).
Moreover, as they explore the underbellies of Montreal, Camille and Florence will come across corrupted policemen,...

Unlike what we believe, the Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois isn't just a film festival. It's also an opportunity to see the pilot of upcoming TV series before everybody. In fact, on Friday, February 26, the pilot of Musée Eden will be presented in the auditorium of the Grande bibliothèque at 7 Pm.
This upcoming TV series from Radio-Canada opens with the brutal murder of a man, Félix Courval, in the Montreal of the 1910s. He has two nieces - played by Laurence Leboeuf (Durham County) and Mariloup Wolfe (Ramdam) - who lives in St-Boniface, Manitoba. After Courval's death, the two women come to Montreal, the city where he lived, in order to know the content of his will. The oldest of the two women will inherit from a few buildings and above all, a museum where crime scenes are reproduced (even with the real blood of the victims).
Moreover, as they have to handle the museum,...

Berlin International Film Festival
La Fete/MSA Prods./Productions de la Lanterne
BERLIN -- "Madame Brouette", a Senegalese movie shot in French, doesn't contain much of a story. But the highly theatrical style of director Moussa Sene Absa lets the film unfold in a colorful, ritualistic manner, almost like a Greek tragedy.
The film screened in competition here, where it clearly is out of place. Yet its lively style makes "Brouette" an exotic selection for other film festivals even if theatrical distribution in Europe or North American is unlikely.
The story is as weak as it is predictable. Men mistreat women throughout the movie, which takes place in the shadier districts of Dakar. Finally, a woman gets her revenge. But Absa, who wrote the script with Gilles Desjardins, interjects songs and movement from peripheral characters, creating the effect of a Greek chorus, commenting on the action.
The movie opens as a corrupt cop called Naago Aboubacar Sadikh Ba) staggers from his lover's bedroom with several bullets in his body. Events leading up to his murder are seen in flashback as friends, onlookers, detectives and a TV news reporter fill in details.
Mati (Rokhaya Niang), nicknamed Madame Brouette or Madam Wheelbarrel, pushes her cart of bric-a-brac through market streets, eking out a meager living for herself and young daughter. A divorcee, she has sworn off men. (For good reason, if the portrait of Senegalese men here is at all accurate.) Inexplicably, she gets sweet-talked by Naago.
Mati dreams of opening a small restaurant with her best friend (Kadiatou Sy), who has escaped an abusive marriage. Even when things turn sour as her father banishes her because she is pregnant and her lover turns out to be a heel, she perseveres. She finally opens the restaurant on money earned by smuggling.
The actors all attack their roles with vigor, though with little subtlety. Senegalese music and graceful camerawork by Jean-Jacques Bouhon give the trite tale considerable vitality. Costumes and design add even more color. You just wish Absa had deployed his eye-catching style on a story with more substance.
