NOTES
Title from title frames
From the Oscar-nominated director of *Arrival* and *Blade Runner 2049* comes this searing drama based on true events. In December 1989, a disturbed killer stalked the campus of Montreal Polytechnique with one goal in mind - to target as many young women as possible. This gut-wrenching film mirrors the gun violence and misogyny that haunt contemporary Western culture, and does so with nuance and delicacy. Nominated for the C.I.C.A.E. Award at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Winner of 9 **Genie Awards** including Best Achievement in Direction, Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role, and Best Screenplay, Original. *"The tragic art of Polytechnique isn't what it shows or reveals but rather the contemplation it inspires. There are moments in life when nothing makes sense and sadness descends; this is one of them." - Peter Howell, **Toronto Star***
