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.

9. Le Confessionnal 1995 100m director and screenplay Robert Lepage. Québécois theatrical wunderkind Robert Lepage’s first foray into the realm of cinema, having for years incorporated its techniques so extravagantly and brilliantly in his theatre work, here renders an impressively multilayered tale of a young man’s return to Quebec City to attend the funeral of his father and to search for his adopted brother. Weaving this contemporary story together with his family’s gnarled past, which not coincidentally involves Alfred Hitchcock’s shooting of I Confess in Quebee City some four decades earlier, Lepage delivers a moving investigation into origins, identity and the complex relationship between cinema and memory. Je me souviens, indeed. 82 DECEMBER 2003 — MARCH 2004
