I stumbled across the trailer for This Movie Is Broken when I was browsing Broken Social Scene’s website. Broken Social Scene’s newest record Forgiveness Rock Record was one that took a few listens to get accustomed to, but has since grown on me faster than grass on a Chia pet. A link on the site led me to a trailer for a film released in Canadian theaters last Friday called This Movie Is Broken by director Bruce McDonald (Hard Core Logo).
The movie is centered around a concert BSS is thrown and the synopsis given on the film’s site reads: On a hot summer’s night in Toronto, a Broken Social Scene show tops all expectations and resonates deep into the morning, into the lives of two close friends….closer than they knew.
Unbelievable: Bruno wakes up in bed next to Caroline, his long time crush. But tomorrow she’s off for school in France, and maybe she only granted this miracle as a parting gift for her long time friend. So tonight — tonight is Bruno’s last chance. And tonight, as it happens, Broken Social Scene, her favorite band, is throwing a big outdoor bash. Maybe if Bruno, with the help of his best pal Blake, can score tickets and give Caroline a night to remember, he can keep this miracle alive.
