There's a scene in Patricia Rozema's 2018 film Mouthpiece where the main character, Cassandra, is flooded with a memory of her mother, who's just died... Rozema pays tribute to Canada's great women storytellers, and considering the filmmaker's body of work, her name belongs among them.
Throughout her canon and evident in the restored films is Rozema's singular poetic film language that includes queer identity, interior monologues, and a duality in her characters or what she refers to as 'twoness.'... Rozema cemented herself as a true auteur out of the gate with I've Heard the Mermaids Singing...
