Very good movie done in a very interesting concept. It's a visual treat. The way the director uses the camera, the split-screen, files from the archives, is just great. The acting too is good. Colm Feore is absolutely fantastic in the lead role. Man, he's got it! I think Polly Shannon also gave a good performance as Margaret. The rest of the cast to their job very well.
When watching "Trudeau", try to not think of it as a documentary. Because this is not one. It's a fiction, based on real facts, with add-on material.
I think it's a first for Canadian cinema. "Trudeau" is a movie that really surprised me.
But I must admit that I prefer the first part of the movie. The second one was a little bit too much on the political side of his life.
Out of 100, I gave "Trudeau" 82. That's good for *** on a **** stars rating system.
Seen at home, in Toronto, on March 31st and April 1st, 2002.
