Indie Films Fernie is pleased to present "The Tracey Fragments," postponed from an earlier screening date and now coming to Fernie for the IFF's monthly screening in April.
The Tracey Fragments
-Canada
Naked under a shower curtain in the back of a bus, 15-year-old Tracey Berkowitz is looking for her younger brother Sonny, who thinks he is a dog. Her journey steers her into the seedier side of the city and dangerous fantasies of Billy Zero – her rock ‘n’ roll saviour.
Through the brutality of high school, broken parents and psychiatric stopovers, Tracey’s stories begin to fuse truth with lies, and we begin to discover the real reason for Sonny’s disappearance.
Directed by Canadian Bruce McDonald (Hard Core Logo) and based on Maureen Medved’s novel, the film is a tragic comedy and a modern day Catcher in the Rye shown through a bold use of split screen.
“Ellen Page portrays Tracey as strong but unsure, lapsing into girlish doting or dramatic concern effortlessly. Her range and ability to become the character is once again showcased here.”
- Sarah Gopaul, POP JOURNALISM
“Ellen Page, who continually chooses challenging roles – not for The Oscar, but for the experience – delivers another stand-out performance as Tracey. You name it, she conquers.”
-Erik Davis, CINEMATICAL
