Days of Darkness
Jean-Marc is a man without qualities living in times that are out of joint. His wife and children ignore him; he's a mid-level government functionary in Montreal doing his job without care. He has an active imagination of sexual conquest, but his only real feelings come when he visits his aged mother, whose health is failing. When his wife leaves abruptly to work in Toronto, Jean-Marc sets out to reorder things with his daughters, his social life, and at work. In a world that at best is a farce, does he stand a chance?
A quiet, introspective drift through mundane existence. It’s a film that feels like a sigh, exploring the absurdities of routine and the quiet desperation of a man lost in his own life. Expect a contemplative, slightly off-kilter experience.
