The long-delayed, much deserved reintroduction of Tantoo Cardinal GlobeArts
, directed by Miranda de Pencier and written by Moira Walley-Beckett and Graham Yost, is due April 19; and, is based on the graphic novel by Greg Rucka. She plays a casino owner and tribal elder in Portland, Ore., – “a boss,” she says – to whom the lead, Dex , an army vet-turned-private investigator, owes a debt. She also completed a “hush-hush project with Jason Momoa,” which seems to be the futuristic dramaAnd it’s not just the quantity of Cardinal’s work that’s changing – it’s the qualities.
Another surprise: Cardinal has a masturbation scene in the film, her first. “When Darlene brought it forward, I was like, ‘Really? Do you really need it?’” Cardinal says, chuckling. “But I was also glad to be able to share that, because as Indigenous women, our sexuality is not shown. There are sex scenes in teepees, Indian doggie style. But the white people have all the sensuality and lovemaking. I’m tired of that setup. It’s old and unhealthy, and no.
Cardinal is doing research of her own, in the Alberta territory where she was raised by her grandmother, and where many of her relatives live. “I still love that land, and that land still loves me,” she says. Accompanied by a cameraperson, she’s making visits, digging up stories. She doesn’t know yet if it will be a documentary or something else, and she refuses to decide just yet.
