Title: The High Cost of Living Writer-director: Deborah Chow Starring: Zach Braff, Isabelle Blais, Patrick Labbe, Julian Lo For a brief period of time, surrounding the 2004 festival premiere and commercial release of Garden State, his critically lauded writing and directing debut, it seemed as though Zach Braff’s career would be taking a hairpin turn, away from the manufactured, hyper-realized silliness of “Scrubs” and into the hinterlands of auteurdom. This pivot, and Braff’s second feature film behind the camera, was put on hold — at least for a while — by the life-support extension of the last two seasons of his hit sitcom, which came about late in the TV re-up cycle, and found Braff working...

For many years, Zach Braff was the star of the hit show "Scrubs" and while most people know him from that as a funnyman, he can be seen in a far more dramatic role in Deborah Chow's drama The High Cost of Living , playing Henry, an American drug dealer living in Montreal who parties too hard one night and inadvertently runs into a woman with his car, then drives off. That woman, Nathalie (Isabelle Blais) was pregnant with her first child, but the horrible accident puts a wedge between her and her husband Michel. When he hears about the victim, Henry's guilt and remorse drives him to seek Nathalie out, and he becomes her close confidante and friend without realizing he was the man whose negligence caused her so much torment.

First-time filmmaker Deborah Chow hit the Tiff scene last September with 'The High Cost of Living' -- the story of a pregnant woman (Isabelle Blais) from Montreal who loses her unborn child in a hit-and-run accident and is subsequently befriended by her hit-and-run driver (Zach Braff). This hard-hitting drama took Toronto by storm and won the filmmaker Tiff's Best Canadian First Feature.
The flick is finally set to open -- in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary and Montreal -- to a wider audience on Friday. To mark the opening, Moviefone.ca sat down with Chow, who dished about her love of fantasy like 'His Dark Materials,' the inspiration she found in Nick Cave, 'Incendies' and the cautionary tale she plans to film next.

Helmed by first time feature director Deborah Chow, The High Cost of Living stars Braff as Henry Welles, a New York native living in Montreal selling prescription drugs. While going about his business, Henry hits a woman named Nathalie (Isabelle Blais) with his car. Luckily, Nathalie survives the accident, but her unborn baby does not. While Nathalie struggles to cope with her loss, so does Henry, as he.s desperate to find even the slightest degree of redemption. While this may fall into Braff.s playing field when it comes to the sheer size of the production, in terms of content, The High Cost of Living is far more emotional than anything he.s done before and that.s exactly what Braff was looking for, something so challenging it scared him. While the atmosphere on set was a little on the gloomy side thanks to the subject matter, it was...

Many people were surprised back in 2005 when Zach Braff, star of the medical comedy "Scrubs," showed up at the Sundance Film Festival with a movie he both wrote and directed, co-starring Natalie Portman. Garden State was an instant hit at the festival and was quite successful when released theatrically, and it has become quite a well-loved film since then. With "Scrubs" having ended over a year ago, many have wondered what Braff has been up to since then. Next month, he can be seen starring opposite French-Canadian actress Isabelle Blais in Deborah Chow's debut drama The High Cost of Living , and when ComingSoon.net talked to him about the movie earlier today, we posed the question he probably still gets asked more than any, which is "When are you...

Here's how the story looks like according to the film's web site:
It starts with an accident. Henry (Zach Braff) makes a wrong turn and crashes into Nathalie (Isabelle Blais).

V, a French Canadian TV network, will renew the half-hour dramatic comedy Prozac, La Maladie Du Bonheur for a second season.
The first season's finale left us at a moment when Philippe Racine (Patrice Robitaille), a fallen columnist of a prestigious newspaper, was making some progress in his therapy. After all, he wanted to commit a suicide after he knowingly plagiarized an article of a French newspaper.
Also returning for the second season will be François Létourneau, Isabelle Blais, Louis Morissette, Gilles Renaud, France Castel, Louise Portal, Jean-Pierre Bergeron, Martin Laroche, Sophie Cadieux and Sandrine Bisson.
For the moment, V hasn't announced any premiere date for Prozac, which was written by Sophia Borovchyk and Karina Goma. However, the show will probably return next fall.

Looking to diversify his acting credits after nine seasons as the sensitive, cartoonishly adorable, solipsistic doctor in the long-running series “Scrubs,” Zack Braff travelled to the La Belle Ville to star in The High Cost of Living, first-time writer-director Deborah Chow’s unflinching tale of fate, guilt, circumstance and forgiveness, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival.
And broad comedy, this is not.
As Henry, the chain-smoking, bleary-eyed drug dealer who hits a very pregnant Nathalie (Isabelle Blais) with his car and then flees the scene only to seek out the mystery lady when his guilt won’t let him rest, Braff achieves an effective balance and resists vilifying a man he sees as weighed down by a life of poor decisions.

It has been a good little while since Zach Braff turned heads by making the jump from TV actor to multi-hyphenate writer-director-star of indie hit Garden State. Braff has been surprisingly quiet since but he'll be turning heads in Toronto this year, playing an entirely different sort of character in Deborah Chow's The High Cost of Living.
The dark - you might even say bleak - drama casts Braff as a drunk driver who runs down a heavily pregnant young woman. Panicking, he drives off, leaving her in the street and though she survives the ordeal, her unborn baby does not, though due to the trauma the doctor's are unable to induce birth and the woman is forced to continuing carrying the child she knows is dead inside of her. Stricken by guilt, Braff looks her up when sober and, without revealing his true identity, strikes up a relationship with her.

V, a French Canadian TV network, has revealed the details of the script of its new original series Prozac, which was created by Sophia Borovchyk and Karina Goma. The show is currently in production in Montreal and will premiere this September.
In Prozac, we follow Philippe (Patrice Robitaille), a columnist who's living large until the day he's got fired because of a faux pas. Besides, when his friends and relatives learn that Philippe contemplates suicide, they implore him to seek help.
While he's at the end of the road and approaching his fourties, Philippe decides to join a group therapy for depressed people. The group is made of Marie (Sandrine Bisson), a morally naughty woman, François (Jean-Pierre Bergeron), a depressed crooner, and Mireille (Louise Portal), a patient with a Mother Teresa syndrome (i.e. wanting to help people at all cost even when they don't need it).

Check out the red carpet pics below. Saints-Martyrs-des-Damnés sees a journalist who finds himself in a place where it's hard to know strange leaves off and the supernatural begins. Before long his own photographer goes missing and he encounters a series of weird characters, among them the ghost of a young woman who died on her wedding day. The journalist is drawn into a mysterious world where the notion of identity, including his own, is put into question. Lead Actor: François Chénier He was present at this year's Tiff as well.
