Dropping straight down from our neighbors to the North, the Canadian independent feature Separation brings us the story of a couple initially struggling to save their marriage, then struggling to save their lives. (There’s the quote for the back of your DVD, guys!)

The trailer for Separation (featured below) has a Straw Dogs feel to it. The film stars Sarah Manninen (Keep Your Head Up, Kid: The Don Cherry Story) and Peter Stebbings (The Listener) with Dmitry Chepovetsky (ReGenesis), Rob deLeeuw (The Business) and Al Sapienza (Margin Call). Separation was written and directed by Greg White and produced in Ontario under the Actra TIP Program by Birchmount Entertainment Inc.

Keep up-to-date with the film on the Separation Facebook page as the official release nears. Olly olly oxen free.

Thanks to DC reader Avery for the heads-up!

Synopsis
Separation is a psychological thriller about Jack (Peter Stebbings) and Liz (Sarah Manninen), a couple in their 30’s struggling to keep their family together. They have recently moved to the small summering community of Hemlock Lake, hoping it will make a difference, but when a mysterious neighbor (Dmitry Chepovetsky) enters their lives, it may no longer be just their marriage that could get ripped apart.
