Denis Côté's haunting Canadian drama
A unique voice in contemporary cinema, Denis Côté is renowned for his unsettling, sparse and formally daring films.
Winner of the Best Director and Best Actor (Emmanuel Bilodeau) awards at the 2010 Locarno International Film Festival, Curling is in the starkly beautiful winter landscape of rural Québec.
The film portrays the strange lives of taciturn loner Jean-François, who works at a deserted bowling alley at night and in a rundown motel during the day, and his daughter, Julyvonne, who he insists never leaves their home. Their isolation, and the fragile balance of their relationship, is jeopardised by Julyvonne’s encroaching adolescence, her curiosity about the outside world that Jean-François so fears, and the troubling secrets they both carry.
Haunting, enigmatic and at times menacing, the film is a meditation on the universal need for human connection.
