Sprawling, theatrical and entertaining, Robert Lepage’s Le Confessionnal weaves tidbits of the making of Hitchcock’s I Confess with the history of a family in Quebec city. Seamlessly weaving past and present and beautifully staged and shot, it’s a clever film that is quite enjoyable to watch. It’s one of those films that I’ve been wanting to see for a long time and I’m glad that I finally was able to see it.

This movie is entrancing, a well-crafted suspense story. No murders, but red herrings galore, and beautiful transitions between place and time. Haunting. And Hitchcockian. Just rent it!
