Ville Neuve

Set against the backdrop of the 1995 referendum on Quebec independence, Félix Dufour-Laperrière’s feature debut recounts the story of Joseph (Robert Lalonde), a washed-up novelist and political dissident who rekindles his relationship with his ex-wife Emma (Johanne-Marie Tremblay) at a remote cabin on the Atlantic coast. Making striking use of a monochrome animation style, Ville Neuve is a mesmerizing study of personal and collective crises, told in ambiguous shades of grey.
