Denis Villeneuve Retrospective: Maelström
Eight years before Polytechnique, Villeneuve’ sophomore film, Maelström, won all eight of its Jutra nominations, as well as the Genie for Best Motion Picture. Unlike Polytechnique, in which he adhered to fact as much as possible, Maelström is completely fictional, and shows a sense of playfulness despite its dark tone and brooding sense of doom.
