Event Description

Inspired by a play written and produced a dozen years ago by actor and playwright Alexandre Goyette (Masque awards for best original play and best actor, 2005), the film is as hard-hitting as they come. For 91 minutes, we follow David as he makes bad decisions and falls into a series of disturbingly violent events. This is a blunt depiction of the world of street gangs, and of the tense alliances in which the protagonist finds himself unwillingly bound. Making a cinematic adaptation of the play presented considerable technical challenges, and this evening you will see the fifth take -- the film is a single shot, an approach that demanded exceptional dedication from the entire crew in order to realize the shared vision of director Podz and writer/actor Alexandre Goyette. This is what happens when stage meets screen!


Inspiré par la pièce écrite pour le théâtre il y a une douzaine d'années du comédien et scénariste Alexandre Goyette (Masque du meilleur texte original et de la meilleure interprétation en 2005), le film est un véritable coup de force. Durant 91 minutes, on suit l'histoire de David qui avec ses mauvais choix, tombe dans une série d’événements d’une violence frontale. La dureté à l’écran illustre bien ce monde de gangs de rues et d’alliances intéressées dans le lequel le personnage plonge durement. Le pari d’adapter la pièce au grand écran a représenté un beau défi technologique et ce que vous découvrirez ce soir est le résultat de la 5e prise. Car le film est un plan séquence qui a nécessité le dévouement de toute l’équipe pour arriver à la vision qu’ont eu en tête le réalisateur Podz et le comédien et scénariste Alexandre Goyette. Quand le théâtre fait son cinéma !
