''Surfacing'' is a Canadian drama film. Directed by Claude Jutra and released in 1981,〔(Claude Jutra ) at the Toronto International Film Festival's Canadian Film Encyclopedia.〕 the film was written by Bernard Gordon as an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel ''Surfacing''. The film's cast included Kathleen Beller, R. H. Thomson, Joseph Bottoms, Michael Ironside and Margaret Dragu. Atwood's novel was widely considered "unfilmable",〔 and Jutra's adaptation was not considered successful.〔 He had been brought in as director only at the last minute, after original director Eric Till dropped out;〔Jim Leach, ''Claude Jutra: Filmmaker''. McGill-Queen's University Press, 1999. ISBN 978-0773520059.〕 it was also the first feature film ever produced by Beryl Fox, primarily known as a documentary filmmaker.〔 In addition, the film was criticized for casting Beller and Bottoms, actors from the United States, in a film adaptation of a novel with themes of Canadian nationalism, as well as for giving Bottoms top billing even though Beller's character was the novel's primary protagonist.〔 The film garnered one Genie Award nomination at the 3rd Genie Awards, for songwriter Ann Mortifee in the Best Original Song category. Jutra rebounded the following year with the more successful and better-received ''By Design''.〔 One of the final scenes was filmed in the Bon Echo Park area on Mazinaw Lake at Mazinaw Rock in south-eastern Ontario. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Surfacing (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
