Oscar fever has peaked, but rather than stand in line for The Hurt Locker, why not check out some homegrown cinema this week?

Although it didn’t make the final short list, Quebec director Xavier Dolan’s I Killed My Mother (J’ai Tue Ma Mere) was Canada’s official entry to this year’s Academy Awards.

Dubbed “the Canadian film success story of the year,” it tells the story of a feisty freshly out-of-the-closet teenager’s tumultuous relationship with his mother – an old-school master of manipulation and guilt.

A storyline we can relate to perhaps?
