Les chambres rouges

A brilliant direction overall from Pascal Plante. A chilling performance by lead actress Juliette Gariépy. Masterful use of long takes. Tasteful use of cool and warm colours and of lighting throughout the film. A dive into the dark and crude subject of serial killing and raping, yet in a skillful presentation that is not too over-the-top violent nor sadistic. A final result that did leave me hanging a bit after the first view, but that I am happy to discuss with friends. (Also I've being told that this film references old stories that I wasn't aware of and that I will want to delve into). All in all, what might the film's main flaw, in my opinion, is well compensated for by the outstanding work that's been put into this fine and polished piece of art.
