TORONTO INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

"It is a treasure that speaks directly to the idea of love as an
ephemeral emotion in all its complexity. " - BRUCE KIRKLAND - Toronto Sun

"..now THIS is how to make an intelligent, appealing and adult romantic comedy, one that doesn’t cave into every convention of the genre - Dan Jardime -Cinemania.

Synopsis: Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Carol Shields, The Republic of Love is a romantic comedy about the barriers facing the lucky and the unlucky in love in the 21st century. Tom is a charismatic late-night radio talk show host whose unconventional upbringing has made him a little too quick to fall in love and marry. Fay is an academic whose expectations are impossibly high as a result of the living perfection that is her parents’ marriage. The characters connect in a maze of malls, condos and family homes, underpinning the idea that ‘geography is destiny’ and that each of us has our own
‘republic’, where lives intersect.

"The experience of the movie is joyous." - Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times

".....Julie Taymor's rhapsodic mash note to John, Paul, George and Ringo falls just short of breathtaking." -Houston Chronicle.

Synopsis: In this psychedelic musical film that rolls along to the beat of many Beatles hits, a young dock worker travels to America in the 60s amidst our greatest social upheaval and falls in love with a sheltered teenager named Lucy. When her brother Max is drafted to fight in the Vietnam War, the two join the anti-war movement, the struggle for free speech and civil rights.
