QUéBEC/CANADA | 84 minutes | 2015

There’s Simone, a disturbed teen who copes as best she can with her mother’s murder. There’s also Simone, in her twenties, who copes with her panic attacks as best she can. And then there’s Simone, in her sixties, a quantum physicist and lecturer on the perception of reality and the distortion of time. And we are about to embark on a journey set up as a jeu d'esprit, a space-time puzzle that likes to make us feel a little lost, forcing us to think with our eyes. André Turpin, the acclaimed cinematographer (Maelstrom, Incendies, Mommy, etc.), is back with his second feature, fourteen years after Un crabe dans la tête (Soft Shell Man). His return vividly proclaims his distinctiveness in Quebec cinema, with a meta-film that keeps the narrative anything but linear and happily plunges into an exploration of the psyche. A psycho-thriller and existential drama with sex as the centre, the mysteries are deep and viewers will enjoy letting their subconscious take in the show. A serious, ambitious human adventure in which times intersect and the cinema dares to dream. See it before the inevitable too-neat-and-tidy Hollywood remake by, say, Christopher Nolan.
