Claire de Lune - CAST
The film is the second short film written and directed by actress Valérie Lecomte ("The Handmaid's tale", "Forgive me Father"), who also stars as Claire. The cast also includes Gemini Award winner and Governor General's Performing Arts Award recipient Diana Leblanc ("More Tales of the City", "Kim's Convenience") as Evelyne, Peter Mazzucco ("Young Badlands", "Standardized") as Mark, Charlotte Tapin ("Mischief", TFO'S "Laura Secord") as Amy and introduces Evan Assailly-Lecomte as Alex.
Il s'agit du second court-métrage écrit, réalisé et interprété par Valérie Lecomte ("The Handmaid's tale", ''Pardonnez-moi mon Père''). Diana Leblanc, actrice ("More Tales of the City", "Kim's Convenience") et réalisatrice, récipiendaire du Prix Gemini et Lauréate 2015 du Prix du Gouverneur Général pour les Arts, y interprète le rôle d'Evelyne. C'est un véritable honneur pour toute l'équipe que d'avoir eu une telle grande dame sur le plateau. Peter Mazzucco ("Young Badlands", "Standardized"), interprète Mark, Charlotte Tapin ("Mischief", TFO'S "Laura Secord"), interprète Amy et Evan Assailly-Lecomte, Alex.
''Performances in this film are genuine and believable. Ms. Lecomte is charming and lovely as the mother who wants to get to the bottom of this mystery. Peter Mazzucco is a compassionate and tender Mark who wants what’s best for Claire. Evan Assailly-Lecomte and Charlotte Tapin are believable in their chemistry as brother and sister.
It is in the final moments of the film where I was captivated by the charismatic performance of Diana Leblanc, Gemini award-winning and Governor General Performing Arts Award artist, as Claire’s frosty mother, Evelyn. With her dark sunglasses and puffy eyes, Ms. Leblanc is in masterful control of these viscerally raw and emotional few minutes. There is profound tension when Claire asks her mother point-blank questions and Evelyn does not immediately respond, but instead just stares out over the water before slowly answering the questions.
What a terrific acting lesson to watch between these two ladies. Ms. Leblanc never upstages Ms. Lecomte as she slowly begins to put pieces together about the past. The final moment and exchange between these two ladies on a bench overlooking the water is pure artistic and film mastery at hand''.
