This Beautiful City
Canada, 99 minutes, English

Director Ed Gass-Donnelly highlights the inner city grey zone that exists between the haves and the have-nots in this urban drama focusing on the displacement of the lower classes by urban gentrification. In This Beautiful City, the only thing separating the junkies from the creative class is a posh, overpriced condo that sits where an abandoned building used to be. Carol and her architect husband Harry are members of the latter group. Despite outward appearances, however, this struggling urban couple is consumed by their petty problems - both husband and wife slowly dying from the inside out.
