In Disappearances, Craven brings a number of these characters to life on the silver screen: Kris Kristofferson as Quebec Bill Bonhomme, a wild irrepressible “feral patriarch” with a history as both a smuggler and abuser of alcohol; Charlie McDermott as Wild Bill Bonhomme, his young son eager to take up the same path as his father; and Genevieve Bujold as Cordelia, Wild Bill’s enigmatic and prophetic aunt who seeks to save her grandson from the terrible fate she sees for him.
These characters and others dance through gripping tale of high stakes whiskey smuggling along the Vermont Canadian border, involving mysterious French backers, dangerous bandits, and the Bonhomme family’s mysterious history.
This is a part of the prestigious Southern Circuit Film Series. The MAP presents Jay Craven and his film with help from the following generous sponsors: The Fine Arts Theatre, Western Carolina University, University North Carolina Asheville, Advantage West and the WNC Film Commission.
