The Twentieth Century

90 Minutes, Not Rated

Written and Directed by Matthew Rankin

Synopsis:
Aspiring young politician Mackenzie King (Dan Beirne) dreams of becoming the Prime Minister of Canada. But his romantic vacillation between a British soldier and a French nurse, exacerbated by a fetishistic obsession, may well bring about his downfall.

In his quest for power, King must gratify the expectations of his imperious Mother, the hawkish fantasies of a war-mongering Governor-General, and the utopian idealism of a Québécois mystic before facing one, final test of leadership.
Culminating in an epic battle between good and evil, King learns that disappointment may be the defining characteristic of the twentieth century!

So, this is actually a biopic….?

I find it hard to believe a person’s life could be as this film shows, so I’m going to go with an “inspired by the life of…” kind of biopic.

Perhaps similar to how Rocketman was “inspired” by the life of Sir Elton John.

The Twentieth Century stars Daniel Beirne, Sarianne Cormier, Mikhail Ahooja, Catherine St-Laurent, Sean Cullen and Trevor Anderson.
