White room

Blu-ray
Available in the U.S. for the first time, Patricia Rozema's ambitious follow up to I've Heard The Mermaids Singing follows Norman (Maurice Godin, House), a gentle aspiring author with writer's block, who spies on his neighbors for inspiration. When he witnesses the murder of famous singer Madeline X (Margot Kidder, Superman), he attends her memorial and encounters a mesmerizing woman (Kate Nelligan, The Cider House Rules) who he follows home. Or is she leading him? As her gardener, he discovers her nightly visits to a secret room and a possible connection to the murder. Set in Toronto of the '90s, this twisted urban fairy tale, as much about the consequences of naive romanticism as our uniquely modern obsession with celebrity, has two endings - one tragic, one euphoric, both essential.
