Everything's Gone Green

EVERYTHING'S GONE GREEN (2006) - Sept. 12, 2006
A really well made and enjoyable film about a guy who works the lottery office in Vancouver, and who finds himself involved in a scam of sorts. That doesn't really describe the movie too well, but I guess you can't really describe this movie in one sentence. Written by Douglas Coupland, the film features all the hallmarks of Coupland's novels: the quirky characters, the humour, the thoughtful dialogue. You wouldn't think he'd be able to do it, but he really does effectively translate the experience of reading one of his books to the screen. The film is also really well directed by Paul Fox, and features a really excellent central performance from Paulo Costanzo. ***1/2
