Falcon Lake

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Charlotte Le Bon
2022 / 100min / DCP

The astonishingly assured debut feature from French Canadian actress Charlotte Le Bon, Falcon Lake stars Joseph Engel as Bastien, a 13-year-old Parisian who, while on a holiday with his family in rural Quebec, becomes increasingly close to Chloé (Sara Montpetit), the 16-year-old daughter of an old friend of his mother. A tender tale of first love that progresses with the disconcertingly eerie mood of a gothic horror film—the lake by the family’s rented cabin is haunted by a ghost legend—Le Bon’s ruminative, atmospheric drama subverts every coming of age cliché to create something entirely distinctive, quietly unnerving, and achingly emotional, seeking out the darkness on the fringes of a sunny summer idyll.

Saturday, June 3rd, 7:15pm, Q&A with filmmaker Charlotte Le Bon and star Sara Montpetit, moderated by Jacqueline Castel
