Possible Worlds is a 2000 Canadian
film adaptation of the 1990 play
of the same name by John Mighton.
The film is directed by Robert Lepage,
widely considered to be Canada’s premiere theatre artist,

and stars
Tom McCamus and
Tilda Swinton.

Music is by George Koller.

Mighton approached Lepage to direct an adaption of his play,
Lepage had seen a tape of Daniel Brook's minimalistic 1998 production of the play,
and agreed to direct the film.

He liked Mighton's combining of art and science
and the theme of diverse, multilayered identity.


The Australian film festival Possible Worlds
, running since 2006, was named after the film.

Synopsis

Le film suit fidèlement le script de la pièce. George Barber (Tom McCamus) est un mathématicien qui rencontre continuellement la même femme, Joyce (Tilda Swinton), dans un bar. Quelquefois, elle est une scientifique, quelquefois une courtière en valeurs mobilières. Elle accepte ou repousse ses avances et semble ne jamais se rappeler de lui de fois en fois.

Once installed as king, Edward II summons his friend and lover, Piers Gaveston, to his side and showers him with gifts, titles and abiding love. Their relationship is fiery and passionate, but it is the focus of gossip and derision throughout the kingdom. Upon his return, Gaveston takes revenge on the Bishop of Winchester, who had been responsible for his banishment from England during the previous reign, by personally torturing him. Kent, Edwards’ brother, is the first to protest Gaveston's return. Many others feel the same way, including the Bishop of Winchester and Lord Mortimer, who is in charge of the army forces of the kingdom. Nevertheless, Edward defends his lover from his mounting enemies.

In the year 1919, the Opéra Populaire holds a public auction to clear the theatre's vaults. The Vicomte de Chagny purchases a papier-mâché music box in the shape of a monkey and eyes it sadly as Madame Giry, an aged woman dressed in black, watches him. The auctioneer then presents a shattered chandelier as the next item up for bid, explaining that it once played a key role in "the strange affair of the Phantom of the Opéra." As the chandelier is displayed for all to see, it flickers to life and slowly ascends to its original place in the rafters as the audience is transported back in time to the year 1870.
