After completing MAELSTRÖM, Denis Villeneuve (Dune, THE 32nd AUGUST ON EARTH) retired for nearly a decade.
From acclaimed director Denis Villeneuve (Dune, Blade Runner 2049) comes one of his earliest films, the award-winning Maelstrom, which earned Best Canadian Film at the Toronto International Film Festival. Narrated by a philosophical talking fish, the film follows Bibiane Champagne, a young woman whose life spins into turmoil after accidentally hitting a Norwegian immigrant with her car and fleeing the scene. Consumed by guilt, Bibiane struggles to find redemption and meaning amid the chaos.
Young Bibiane Champagne's life comes apart at the seams after she hits a Norwegian immigrant with her car and leaves him lying on the road. The injured man makes it home, where he dies.
Overwhelmed with guilt, Bibiane struggles to forget what she did and find a way to move on. Then fate gives her a second chance when she meets the man who will change her life.
