A genuine cinematic gem groundbreaking. Piers Handling, TIFFFrustrated housewife Gwen James (Rabids Patricia Gage) feels like little more than a servant to her accountant husband (Strange Brews Douglas Campbell) and two daughters. Devoting all her time to their needs and the demands of her cantankerous father she feels her sense of self-worth slipping. As Gwen wrestles with increasingly despairing thoughts, she escapes into a world of glamorous fantasy and eventually finds a new sense of purpose by enrolling in a university course, where she strikes up a special bond with her young professor (American Nightmares Neil Dainard). But as Gwen reverts to a more youthful, carefree state, her family descends into chaos.Arriving on the heels of The Bitter Ash and Sweet Substitute, When Tomorrow Dies concluded Larrys Kent Vancouver Trilogy with a vivid new sense of style and daring. Working with a larger budget and a more seasoned crew, the director fused elements of film noir and the Hollywood melodrama to deliver a lurid yet compassionate investigation of the housewife psyche. Applying Kents preoccupation with youthful disaffection to an older generation, When Tomorrow Dies brought new depth to his approach and cemented his reputation as a maverick of Canadian independent filmmaking.directed by: Larry Kentstarring:Patricia Gage, Douglas Campbell, Neil Dainard, Nikki Cole, Desmond Smiley, Francie Long, Patricia Wilson, Caroline Kennedy, Lanny Beckman1965 / 89 min / 1.37:1 / English DTS-HD MA 2.0Additional info:Region A Blu-rayNewly scanned and restored in 4K from the original 16mm A/B negatives by Canadian International Pictures with sound transferred from the original 16mm magnetic final mixNew audio commentary featuring film historian and author Samm DeighanArchival audio commentary featuring film professor Peter RistNew introduction to When Tomorrow Dies by Larry KentTomorrow Lives (2024, 9 min.)
