Saffron Screen film times

Starbuck (15)

A wry and witty French-Canadian comedy about a happy-go-lucky sperm donor whose past catches up with him. In the 1980s, Montreal meat delivery man David Wozniak made a total of 648 donations at $35 a go. Twenty years later, his friend and unpaid lawyer Paul (the very funny Antoine Bertrand) informs David that his earlier deposits have matured into 533 adults, 142 of whom want to meet him. Having received profiles and photos of his various progeny, he knows who they are even if they don’t know him, and he starts spying on them, doing favours, some small, some life-altering, without revealing himself. Catch the original rather than the Hollywood remake which is on its way.
