Mars & Avril is probably the first Québécois film to be adapted from two graphic novels. It is set in a futuristic Montreal where humanity is preparing to set foot on the planet Mars. The charismatic musician Jacob plays on musical instruments inspired by the female form and designed by his best friend Arthur. Both men fall in love with Avril, a young photographer who has problems with her breathing. This original cosmic fairy tale brings together the themes of art, spirituality, the world of inventions, and love; and it’s here that distinguished Canadian filmmaker Robert Lepage returns to the silver screen – as a hologram. This remarkable film debut by talented director Martin Villeneuve will enchant viewers with its visual sheen and may certainly be considered one of the most fascinating “intimate sci-fi films” in recent years.

This was aheavily philosophical movie and I just couldn’t accept the terms of its story under any circumstances. It felt as if I were trying to see through some sort of a movie mist. The emotions were technically nonexistent and the only thing that deserved any attention was the visual side which was breathtaking. But considering that the author has been making the movie for 10 years, the visuals are not nearly enough to make me watch this with excitement, even though I love sci-fi.
