Take One

Take One (1966-79) was a Montréal-based film magazine offering criticism and news about international, Canadian, and Hollywood cinema. Founded by Peter Lebensold, Adam Symansky, and John Roston—alumni of the McGill Film Society—its creation coincided with the burgeoning Canadian film industry, which Take One placed in global context. Articles included essays by filmmakers themselves, such as Brian DePalma and Richard Dreyfuss. The magazine concluded its run in 1979 after publishing 81 issues, but remained sufficiently influential that a 1992 Toronto-based magazine took the same title in homage to the original.

Crime Wave 1985 80m director and screenplay John Paizs. Utterly original and almost excessively inventive, John Paizs’s debut feature is self-consciously erected upon his mastery of B-movie and television narrative and stylistic conventions, here relocated in the day-glo colours of suburban Winnipeg. The story of aspiring colour crime movie writer Steven Penny (played to mute perfection by Paizs himself) who can only write beginnings and endings for his movies, not middles, Crime Wave is a formally freewheeling rumination on the processes of cultural imperialism, on life in the margins, on the nature of cinematic experience itself, and on the inexhaustible possibilities of pop culture recycling.
