多伦多故事

Opening on the chaos and confusion of Pearson International Airport’s arrivals lounge, a young immigrant boy arrives in Toronto, alone and not speaking a word of English. Before the authorities have a chance to figure out where he’s from, he disappears and an amber alert is issued that reverberates through the city. Meanwhile, the boy finds his way into the centre of town, where he bears accidental witness to a covert mission of two kids to find the infamous Cabbagetown Monster, a budding romance, and an escaped ex-con reconnecting with an old friend - all the while managing to remain undiscovered despite the widespread search for him. Finally, a once established man fallen from grace and now inhabiting the streets and alleys around Union Station spots the lost boy, but when he approaches the authorities his mental illness causes the credibility of his discovery to be questioned. 

An engaging tale in the tradition of New York Stories, Jim Jarmusch’s Night on Earth, and Paris, Je t’Aime, Toronto Stories is a feature film in four chapters bound together by one interwoven narrative and set in Toronto. The four-part screenplay is written and directed by Aaron Woodley (Rhinoceros Eyes, Tennessee), Sook-Yin Lee (Shortbus, Unlocked), Sudz Sutherland (Doomstown, Love, Sex and Eating the Bones), and David Weaver (Siblings, Century Hotel). 

Toronto Stories stars Gil Bellows (The Shawshank Redemption, Ally McBeal, Terminal City), Sook-Yin Lee (Shortbus, 3 Needles), Samantha Weinstein (Siblings, Big Girl), Tygh Runyan (Normal, Snakes On A Plane), K.C. Collins (Poor Boy’s Game, Doomstown), Joris Jarsky (Blindness, The Incredible Hulk), Lisa Ray (Water, Bollywood Hollywood), Carly Pope (Young People F**king, The French Guy), and introduces Toka Murphy as the mysterious ‘lost boy.’

色彩是影视画面的抒情符号，能够传递感情，表达艺术家所要表达的情绪。

一部影片的色彩基调，犹如一根串起珍珠的金线，这条金线往往就是影片的主题所在。

就影片的情节来说，既不曲折也不扣人心弦，可以说简单而又平淡。那么为什么这样一部故事普通、情节简单的影片却被人称为经典呢？关键就在于导演在影片中所使用的巧妙而别致的表现手法，通过这些艺术手法为这个普通的故事赋予了一个内蕴深广、新颖脱俗的主题，使这部电影达到了形式与内容的完美结合。
