Triptyque (Triptych) Written by Robert Lepage Directed by Robert Lepage and Pedro Pires Canada, 2013 - Quebecois cinema has always been a beast very much apart from the rest of the country. It has a long and proud history of being bolder, ballsier, and more artistically uncompromising than English Canadian film on the whole. Since Jésus de Montréal became the most widely-praised film to come out of the province (not directed by Denys Arcand, that is), Robert Lepage was a mainstay – that is, until he took a decade off to pursue other interests, particularly theater. Triptych marks his return, armed with a new collaborator, short-film director Pedro Pires, who assisted in bringing one of Lepage’s plays, Triptych, to the screen. The result avoids many of the commoner pitfalls that tend to befall stage-to-screen adaptations, but doesn’t quite gel into the sort of satisfying whole that would place it alongside Lepage’s past triumphs.
