  • Surfacing is a 1981 Canadian drama film directed by Claude Jutra and starring Kathleen Beller, R. H. Thomson, Joseph Bottoms, Michael Ironside and Margaret Dragu. The film was written by Bernard Gordon as an adaptation of Margaret Atwood's novel Surfacing (1972). The film received mixed reviews, with criticism of Bottom’s performance, and praise for Dragu’s. The film garnered one Genie Award nomination at the 3rd Genie Awards, for songwriter Ann Mortifee in the Best Original Song category. Atwood's novel was widely considered "unfilmable", and Jutra's adaptation was not considered successful. He had been brought in as director only at the last minute, after original director Eric Till dropped out; it was also the first narrative feature film ever produced by Beryl Fox, who was primarily known as a documentary filmmaker. In addition, the film was criticized for casting Beller and Bottoms, actors from the United States, in a film adaptation of a novel with themes of Canadian nationalism, as well as for giving Bottoms top billing even though Beller's character was the novel's primary protagonist. Jutra rebounded the following year with the more successful and better-received By Design. (en)
