Description
It is an imaginatively absurd, magical realist story about a waifish daydreamer with artistic aspirations. In Patricia Rozema₂s fanciful character study, aspiring photographer Polly lands a job at a Toronto art gallery run by Gabrielle, who is also a painter. Polly is impressed with Gabrielle₂s paintings, but as Polly gets to know Gabrielle₂s lover Mary and becomes entangled in their lives, she realizes Gabrielle isn₂t exactly who she appears to be, and her world tilts off its axis. One of the first queer films that weren₂t only about queerness, I₂ve Heard the Mermaids Singing takes the viewer to the enchanted places inside Polly₂s mind while quietly assaulting the notion of authority everywhere. Winner of the Prix de la Jeunesse at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.
