A critical hit at Cannes! Tu Dors Nicole

Tu Dors Nicole - Stéphane Lafleur | Canada | 2014 | 93 mins

The third fiction feature by Stéphane Lafleur once again displays his trademark absurdist humour and sense of ennui, honing in on twentysomethings at an existential crossroads.

Nicole (Julianne Côté) is adrift after college graduation, working a dead-end summer job in her small Quebec hometown and spending evenings with her best pal, Véronique. When her older brother Remi (Marc-André Grondin, C.R.A.Z.Y.) unexpectedly returns with his bandmates in tow, disrupting the girls’ half-baked summer, it becomes clear to Nicole that something must — and will — change.

Shot in luminous black and white and infused with a sultry melancholy, Tu dors Nicole brilliantly captures that liminal stage where the fading yet familiar attachments of childhood still seem far more appealing, precious, and real than the sterility of the grown-up world.

The Carbon Arc Cinema Co-op is an independent, art house cinema in downtown Halifax.

We are 90% volunteer run, with a Board of Directors, a projectionist, administrator, programming committee, great volunteers, and a newly hired cinema director.

We screen great films every Friday at 7pm during Feb, Mar & April, late Sept, Oct & Nov. Our long term plan is to grow into a cinematheque, offering nightly film screenings.
