Dodging the Clock (2005)

An important movie that the Quebec had to realize

[9/10 · 10 August 2005]

Horloge Biologique is a deep study on the fears that couples live when it is the time to have, to wait for or to raise a child. So, infidelity comes into play in the themes of the script written by the trio composed of Ricardo Trogi, Jean-Philippe Pearson and Patrice Robitaille. Those who already presented us Québec-Montréal in 2002, are coming back with a second feature film. All the dialogues are running around the same subject but without making the scenes boring. At the opposite, the conversations are full of funny jokes that loosen the tight feelings before the most dramatic scenes. The interpretation was really well chosen. Like their first movie, Jean-Philippe Pearson and Patrice Robitaille took the opportunity to get main roles and their talents achieve what you can expect from them. Pierre-François Legendre also has a role and these three actors compose the three characters that the viewer follow the evolution. The intrigues multiply themselves at an incredible rate, but still the interest in each of them stay at the same important level. In short, Horloge Biologique is an important movie that the Quebec had to realize, far from the special effects and the big actors that Hollywood knows how to sell us.
