Epiphany Rules

Directed by Paula Kelly
Canada, 1999 (fiction, 25 minutes, colour, English)

Film Description:
"This is a tightly-written, wonderfully-directed story of three people living on the margins, whose fates collide in a cloud of unrequited love and loneliness. Trevor is the middle-aged survivor of his first heart attack whose fantasy life has begun to replace the real world; Candace is an inner-city prisoner-of-war in her own home who will do anything to escape; and Riel is the charismatic hustler who offers them both instant gratification as a substitute for love. In only 25 minutes, Ms. Kelly has drawn three definitive characters, caught up in a strong plot line, that perfectly sums up what French filmmaker Jean Luc Godard observed years ago: 'A film should only be the length it needs to tell the story.' Paula Kelly's film brings Godard's illuminating truth to light."
