Last week, I watched a really sweet film called No Heart Feelings. While the film is very much about relationships and friendship - specifically a break up, and the post break up tribulations we all face - it is also an ode to Toronto. The film is shot in the city, and unapologetically so. This is not Toronto masquerading as an American city. Spots like Aunties & Uncles, OCAD and 401 Richmond are shown, as are galleries, parks and familiar streetscapes. It's so pleasant to watch a film set in this city, about this city. (Another such film is This Movie is Broken, which has a requisite great soundtrack given that a free BSS concert held during last summer's City strike is central to the movie.)
