Katryn's Place

Synopsis

A recently widowed woman leaves the hospital after a drunken auto accident, bruised but determined to remake her life. But a dog that won't stay tied up leads her on unwelcome voyages of discovery, and she finds out about her victimization by former lovers. For obvious commercial reasons, B. de Burgh shot her debut feature in english. But it's clear, from more than Pascale Montpetit's suspiciously Gallic "Polish" accent, that pic's straight-ahead tone and unapologetic working-class attitude are French-Canadian by birth. Despite Montpetit's charisma in the not-always-sympathetic lead role, Katryn is unlikely to travel south of the border. (site Variety)
