Excerpt From Film And The City: The Urban Imaginary In Canadian Cinemabook
Description
Film and the City: The Urban Imaginary in Canadian Cinemabook is a book that explores the Canadian urban perspective on screen. This book has many different sections about Clement Virgo's film Rude (1995). The book talks about Rude being the first feature film by a Black Canadian director that made it to the Cannes film festival. It then goes on to talk about how it shows urban life in Toronto in a lens that brings real identity to Canada that hadn’t yet been done. It talks about the style and structure of the film, and it gives recognition to the film for its excellence in the BCF industry. This is one of the instances that shows the impact of the work, because people recognize its genuine reflection of Canadian urban life and can appreciate its accuracy and precision to detail.
