Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Part of Almond's 'Isabel trilogy' chronicling Quebec's Quiet Revolution through one woman's psyche — the province was literally redefining itself while Isabel lost her mind.

Insight

Bujold filmed this right before Anne of the Thousand Days — same year she played a queen and a woman called crazy. Hollywood's range for women in one resume.
