We present our guests with double passes, valid for 2 persons for the special screening of MANSON FAMILY VACATION, on Saturday August 1ST, 2015 at the Concordia Hall Theatre (1455 De Maisonneuve Blvd. West) at 5:00 PM.
MANSON FAMILY VACATION (Canadian Premiere)
Conrad returns home to visit his stepbrother, Nick, and his family. He has sold off his worldly possessions to pursue a new life, but before he does, Conrad convinces Nick to help him document the infamous Manson Family murder sites — all part of the bonding process and finding that family spark thought lost over the years, right?
The Duplass Brothers (BAD MILO) deliver another boundary-testing black comedy with bite. Half grounded drama and half absurdist yarn, MANSON FAMILY VACATION explores the ends to which a family will go to at least understand one another. It features a truly scene-stealing performance by veteran genre actor Tobin Bell (SAW), as Blackbird — his character is a prism, much like the film itself: dangerous and kind, complex and, well, always very human and humane. Directed by J. Davis, MANSON FAMILY VACATION depicts, in a way, the legend of a “changeling child,” those dropped off by fairy folk as a replacement for a human baby. Here the adult male seeks to be reunited with his mythic legacy. The film’s point of view, if you’re receptive to it, is a powerful understanding of our need to belong as human beings, and the semiotics involved with the imagery and cult of Charles Manson, to those who would be outsiders. MANSON FAMILY VACATION, at its core, connects the individual to something larger. And if that larger connection is one of darkness, the message is that’s okay as well — for those of us who live within the horror and hard-rock countercultures, it is a profound and connecting experience.
