Fail To Appear

2017·Feature Film·67 minutes·1.85:1

Bourges’s Toronto-set debut precisely renders the mechanics and kinks of the Canadian legal system and social services, conferring an element of documentary reality on a droll, touching narrative, which has an elegantly unembellished style that verges on the Bressonian. (Art of the Real, Film Society of Lincoln Center)
