Grace of God, The

A dark yet humorous psychological journey about the filmmaker’s efforts to reconcile his socially awkward and sexually naive past with his mature present. Putting himself in front of and behind the camera, L’Ecuyer has forged a stunning hybrid of fiction and documentary. “The Grace of God” crackles and gleams with L’Ecuyer’s aesthetic innovations and his impressive gifts for story telling and directing. “The Grace of God” is a labour of love, comprised of scenes gathered sporadically over a ten-year period. The resulting stream-of-consciousness film takes us on a metaphoric train ride home that slowly reveals the time-worn truth that moving is generally more important than arriving.
