Why On Earth Isn't Roy Dupuis A Major Star? That Beautiful Somewhere Website And Trailer.

Sigh. I suppose the obvious answer to that question is that not only is Dupuis Canadian, he's French Canadian. Which means that no matter how much stellar work he does he's not likely to be seen very widely since Quebecois film generally doesn't travel particularly well. Personally, I last saw Dupuis in Francis Leclerc's excellent Memoires Affectives - my review here - but the man has an extensive resume filled with simply stellar work. If he ever stumbles, I've never seen him do it.

Dupuis latest starring role is in Robert Budreau's religio-archaeological thriller That Beautiful Somewhere in which he stars as a weathered northern Ontario cop investigating a death at a native healing ground. Advance press on this has been stellar and the trailer is a starkly beautiful piece of work. Very, very good stuff. The film releases in Canadian theatres April 20th, no word yet on any sort of US release.
