Maxime Giroux: Short Films
With five feature films to his credit, Maxime Giroux is a filmmaker who has been making his mark on Quebec fiction cinema for over a decade. In anticipation of what's to come, we offer a first look at his accomplished work. His films are so many different ways of supporting actors, developing fiction with their scriptwriters, with a fresh sense of detail that often draws its resources from an accomplished representation of affects.
In the presence of the director
A young man goes shopping with his mother after a tumultuous night out. On the way he confides in her and as this conversation takes place after a difficult start, marked by a dialogue between two generations, the woman faces an uncomfortable truth.
The tragic death of a young girl in a forest. The torments that follow. The father's vain revenge. An encounter between the dark side of nature and the precariousness of life.
The end of another evening in the suburbs. The sun's going to come up soon on Karine, Paul and Stéphane.
