Nonsense Revolution

Teen sex, unexpected death and a hormonally charged angel...Nonsense Revolution is a film about growing up and growing wiser but, quite simply, it is not just another teen movie.

Halifax-based writer/director Ann Verrall's first feature blends issues of grief, sex and friendship with the energy and openness of youth. Verrall catches that crucial moment when high school ends and lifelong pals threaten to go their separate ways.

The story follows a close-knit group of friends whose world is splintered by the death of Caz, the groups' de factoleader. Caz is killed in a car accident, and his drunken friends-who hit Caz while running away from a rave bust-are responsible. A year later, no one has discussed the accident and Caz comes back to earth, resurrected as an angel.

Caz is visible only to his friend Tess but he discovers that other people can see him when they experience an orgasm-a symbolic discovery for this group of friends, who are questioning their sexuality or looking to lose their virginity-which leads to some botched encounters. Caz urges Tess to get everybody back together one last time so that they can all move on and consequently let him go.

Full of arresting images, off-the-wall humour and a surprising frankness, Nonsense Revolution is a unique and forceful feature debut.
