The film is really well filmed and the screenplay, so well written by Montrealer Michael Konyves,  embodies every emotion that one can feel during a two hour period. 

Paul Giamatti is definitely deserving of an Oscar for his performance as "Barney Panofsky". 

In fact, the entire cast is supremely chosen, they all enhance the novel's characters. And yes, The Directors Showband do appear in several scenes midway through the film. 

The V.I.P. After Party was hosted by Entertainment Tonight Canada
