Pascal Plante joins LMF live via Zoom following a screening of his acclaimed psychological thriller, Red Rooms.
Kelly-Anne (Juliette Gariépy) is drawn to the trial of Ludovic Chevalier, a man accused of murdering three teenage girls. As the case attracts intense public attention, her fascination becomes an obsession. Convinced that a missing video holds the final piece of the puzzle, she pursues it into the darkest corners of the internet, taking increasingly disturbing risks along the way.
Plante builds a deeply unsettling film around the people watching the trial and the violence kept beyond our view. With Gariépy at its centre, Red Rooms turns our appetite for true crime into something much harder to sit comfortably with.
The film had its world premiere in competition at Karlovy Vary in 2023 before opening Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival, where it won Best Film and Best Screenplay, alongside awards for Gariépy’s performance and Dominique Plante’s score. It also screened at the BFI London Film Festival.
