From the diary of Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King a fictional drama of the political rise, love affairs and private drama. Matthew Rankin present his wonderful and prize worth first feature film at Berlinale 70.
The Twentieth Century is Matthew Rankin's first feature film, the film written and directed by Rankin is comic-drama. The film is a fictionalized portrait of the rise to power of former Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King as Dan Beirne.
The Canadian story is here transformed and re-proposed, mixing real elements with fictitious facts, in an adventurous journey that the protagonist Mackenzie King has to face. The sets and sets are deliberately unrealistically influenced by German expressionism, 1940s melodrama and war propaganda films. It has an almost Orwellian aesthetic and is also reminiscent of Guy Maddin's films.
Although most of the film's main characters are at least vaguely based on real protagonists of Canadian history, not all their careers are actually coexisted.
Mattew Rankin says that everything in the film is taken and reworked from Mackenzie King's diary. The story is described in the film as a nightmare that Mackenzie may have had in 1899. The film could also be seen as a satire of the overly serious way in which Canadian history is often presented in films and on television.
In addition, the film uses a cross-gender representation, with three significant characters (King's mother, J. Israël Tarte and Lady Violet). These are performances with a playful, school-like approach where anyone can play someone without necessarily linking the actor to their ethnic or gender profile.

The Twentieth Century è il primo lungometraggio di Matthew Rankin, il film scritto e diretto da Rankin è di genere comico-drammatico. La pellicola rappresenta in modo tutto artificioso un ritratto romanzato dell'ascesa al potere dell'ex primo ministro canadese William Lyon Mackenzie King nel ruolo di Dan Beirne.
La storia canadese viene qui trasformata e riproposta, mescolando elementi reali a fatti del tutto fittizzi, in un percorso avventuroso che il protagonista Mackenzie King deve affrontare. Le scenografie e i set sono deliberatamente irrealistici influenzati dall'espressionismo tedesco, dal melodramma degli anni '40 e dai film di propaganda bellica. Ha un estetica quasi Orwelliana e ricorda anche i film di Guy Maddin.
Anche se gran parte dei personaggi principali del film si basano almeno vagamente su veri e propri protagonisti della storia canadese, non tutte le loro carriere sono effettivamente coesistite.
Mattew Rankin afferma che tutto nel film è tratto e rielaborato dal diario di Mackenzie King. La vicenda viene nel film descritta come un incubo che Mackenzie potrebbe aver avuto nel 1899. Il film potrebbe essere viato anche come una satira sul modo eccessivamente serio in cui la storia canadese viene spesso presentata al cinema e alla televisione.
Inoltre il film si avvale di una rappresentazione cross-gender, con tre personaggi significativi (la madre di King's mother, J. Israël Tarte e Lady Violet). Si tratta d'interpretazioni con un approccio giocoso di tipo scolastico dove chiunque può interpretare qualcuno senza per forza collegare l’attore al suo profilo etnico o di genere.
