One of the best experiences I’ve had with Canadian cinema is Bruce MacDonald’s ground-breaking film, HIGHWAY 61. The film stars my (now) friend Valerie Buhagiar (who did our podcast a few months back) and this week’s guest, Earl Pastko - the devil himself. Now Earl is as far removed from the devil as Scrooge McDuck is from Santa Clause, but he plays the devil so nicely in HIGHWAY 61 that it’s hard to think of him as anyone else. The curse of a good actor. Pastko is one of those Canadian performers I’ve been wanting to meet for a long time. And when I discover that one of his film picks is CUTTER’S WAY, a movie I adore but thought no one has heard of — well, that just seals the deal. Pastko is great.
