Why The Red Maple Leaf Deserves all the Accolades

-

The meteoric rise of Frank from a business tycoon to capturing the Canadian film and TV world is truly remarkable and praiseworthy. Born to Sicilian parents in Toronto, Frank’s upbringing, education and inborn talent helped him to become so popular and supremely successful director. The Red Maple Leaf, the star-studded feature film by Frank D'Angelo received The Indie Spirit Best Picture Award.

It is a matter of real prestige for Frank and his team as it is the film won its third Best Picture Award. Here he crafts a tale that is enriched, not overwhelmed, by its look, and whose humanity shines through its gorgeous, elaborate, award-worthy production design. He’s aided by one of the year’s best ensemble casts, led by the extraordinary Robert Loggia, James Caan, Martin Landau, Paul Sorvino, Kris Kristofferson, Mira Sorvino, Michael Paré, Armand Assante, Eric Roberts, Margot Kidder, Daniel Baldwin, Laurie Fortier, Doris Roberts and Marc Blucas. It is a movie that’s at once eccentrically intriguing and comfortably mainstream, a tale that resonates with our turbulent times.

As expected with Frank, the visual element of the movie is seriously inventive. The acting is exemplary, the cinematography is superb and the background music is simply marvelous. Since his early movie Sicilian Vampire, The Red Maple Leaf is Frank D’Angelo’s most impressive work.

At a time when the movie world appears lacking any semblance of originality, along comes Canadian director Frank D'Angelo to remind everyone what a unique, magical world the cinematic experience can be with this masterpiece. He comes roaring back in triumph with one of the best films of his stellar career. We also have to tip our hats to Frank D’Angelo for being willing to mix it up on TV and music video industry. Frank D’Angelo is undoubtedly a multi-talented personality who is not only a successful businessman but also a renowned and hugely famous TV personality.

Making a movie is the most pervasive and influential art. Movies have been made for many years, and for many years they have been a great form of entertainment for us and it is probably the main reason why we love watching movies. Cinemas take us to places we’ve never been and inside the skin of people quite different from ourselves. To the answer of a question why we watch movies, the answer is beautifully summarized by Academy Award winner actor Jack Nicholsen, in one of his speech during Oscar award ceremony, “they entertain us; they offer hopes (and) give traumas; they take us places, we never been, just even for few moments; they can take us away, when we want to get away; Movies inspire us; they challenge us and despite our differences, they are (the) common link to humanity, in all of us.” The art of the performers stays fresh for us, their beauty as beautiful as ever.
