« There are a lot of things in this film [The Far Shore] that are based on the life of my husband's mother—the whole concept of a French Canadian, convent-raised girl, breaking with tradition, falling in love and running away with her man. [...] Men seem to have a more difficult time relating to the picture; I think they relate to Eulalie's husband, Ross, who because of his stiff Toronto upbringing doesn't know how to love the artist that is his wife. I also think that I, as a woman director, alarm them— after all, how many women directors have there been in history? »
