resonance with lovers of film.

Our Friday 27 Sept Opening
Night Film is ‘OCTAVIO IS
DEAD’, a magnificent piece
of queer filmmaking from
Canadian director Sook-Yin
Lee that
débuted in
2018. Tyler
(Alias Grace’s
mesmerizing
Sarah Gadon)
is
unemployed
and unsettled
after learning
that her
father, a man
she’s never
met, has died
and left her
everything,
including an
apartment
cluttered with the detritus of a complicated life. Her
mother Joan, played by the legendary Rosanna Arquette,
doesn’t even want to talk about it. Impulsively deciding to
explore her father’s stomping grounds before the
apartment is sold, Tyler’s curiosity about her father slowly
evolves into a sensual exploration of her own identity and
desires. When a handsome young man finds Tyler
attractive, she learns he may be more connected with the
past that she reckoned with…
Incredible performances from an excellent cast that
includes hunky newcomer Dimitris Kitsos, allows Lee to
produce the seemingly impossible: a sexy and thoughtful
queer film that appeals to women and men and to those
who like their gender bent.
