Norbourg
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.
Humble Quebec Securities Commission inspector and auditor Eric Asselin is mandated to monitor the activities of financial firm Norbourg. Seduced by the charm and audacity of Norbourg’s slick leader Vincent Lacroix, Asselin leaves his boring commission position and joins the lavish lifestyle as his right-hand man. Together they set up a fraudulent system to divert millions of dollars into the mutual funds they manage. However, the extravagant lifestyle cannot last forever. Facing heat from the authorities, Asselin turns on his boss with hopes of saving himself. Norbourg managed to bilk $130 million from thousands of small investors.
