On our annual trip to Montreal this year, we had a very full schedule - many movies a day, followed by meetings (actually more like dinner and drinks) with media and filmmakers - in other words, lots of fun while working hard. It was about the middle of our trip when we saw one of the most emotionally gripping films I've seen in sometime, Rodrigue Jean's Lost Song. 

It so affected me that I still think of it today.  Lost Song is an almost painfully intimate look at the dissolving relationship of a married couple coping with the birth of their first child.   They're so unprepared for the challenges of parenthood that they haven't even named the baby when they head to the country.  Their isolation physically, but also romantically and emotionally has truly tragic results.

Lost Song is so beautifully made it's almost painful to watch, but it's also an important movie about post-partum depression, a subject not often discussed in such a frank and striking manner.  Bring your tissues to this screening - I know I wish I'd had mine that day in Montreal.
