''Conquest'' is a 1998 British-Canadian romantic comedy film set in the dying prairie town of Conquest, Saskatchewan, most of whose remaining residents are in their 70s and depressed. Thirty-two-year-old Pincer Bedier (Lothaire Bluteau), the French-Canadian manager of the only bank branch in the town, dreams of reviving the town and its only cash crop, the edible pea pods of the Caragana bush. Daisy MacDonald (Tara Fitzgerald), a young, beautiful and mysterious English or Australian woman, happens into town in her bright red Alfa Romeo sports car and when it stalls, finds herself stranded indefinitely until the needed parts can be shipped in. Her presence invigourates the town and its inhabitants and romance develops between her and the young banker, while the older inhabitants catch his vision of the future.〔(Fandango listing for Conquest )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Conquest: A Feature Interview with Rob Forsyth )〕 Conquest was shown at the 1998 Montreal World Film Festival.
