#FIRSTLOOK: DENYS ARCAND’S “TESTAMENT” COMING TO ENGLISH CANADA

Academy Award-winning master filmmaker Denys Arcand’s latest film TESTAMENT will open in English Canada on November 10, 2023. Fresh from a huge box office success in Quebec (1.5M to date) and Quebec’s strongest opening since March 2020, Arcand was recently celebrated by the Director’s Guild of Canada (DGC) with a Lifetime Achievement Award. An unexpected (and comedic) love story, TESTAMENT is his 11th feature film.
