Toni, Randi, & Marie

  • Director: Ron Hallis

CGiii Comment

Toni, Randi and Marie is a unique cinéma-vérité trilogy about the everyday lives of the eponymous female impersonator cabaret star, trans hustler, and female sex worker. This honest and intimate film depicts the underbelly of the Expo-Olympics metropolis of Montreal. Documentarian Ron Hallis, a pioneer of independent social issue documentary in English Quebec, broke ground in 1970 with this early exploration of folks living in the margins of sexuality and class, created in collaboration with his partner and editor Ophera Hallis. This early documentary stands up as a respectful encounter between the filmmaker and the subjects, which is rare in a cinematic genre rife with problematic objectification for the so-called sake of journalistic objectivity.
