Special weekend blog post! And why? Because this Sunday, the newly refurbished Paradise Cinema is screening Don McKellar’s terrific 1998 drama Last Night — similarly refurbished, in a new 4K restoration — in its Toronto Plays Itself series. And this screening is special, because it’ll be followed by an on-stage conversation with myself and Don, and I think that’s going to be a good one and you should come and join us if you’re able.

The screening starts at 8 pm, and tickets are available here. And if you need a little nudge, maybe read the essay I wrote about it in 2017, for an episode of CBC’s The Filmmakers. You’ll also find a clip of me, Sook-yin Lee and Bob Martin discussing it with the show’s host, Johanna Schneller, and if that doesn’t do it I just don’t know how to help you.
