Many people claim that Robert Lepage is a «genious» ! Well, he might well be... But who could deny that his physique is very far from being pleasant to look at...? We all know that -- due to an early illness -- he's TOTALLY hairless -- no facial or body hair whatsoever ! So, of course, he has to wear wigs. Wigs that are ALWAYS noticeable to sharp eyes ! In this movie, he wears two different wigs since he plays two different characters -- two brothers. And even with artificial eyebrows, his face is «strangely» unbecoming. Therefore, one can say that both brothers are rather UGLY and somewhat effeminate -- specially the one with long hair -- ironically, the one who's NOT supposed to be gay. In most of his films, I think that Lepage seems to be obsessed with at least two themes : the difficult relationship between brothers and having a scene set in a sauna -- often where gay characters are found. My comments might seem superficial but... are they ?
