Synopsis

Pierre-Paul Daoust, 36, an intellectual with a PhD in philosophy is forced to work as a deliveryman to afford a decent living. One day, while delivering a parcel, he gets caught in a hold up gone terribly wrong: two dead and millions in money bags laying on the ground. Pierre-Paul is confronted with a dilemma: leave empty handed, or take the money and run?

Limited and VOD Releases: The Fall of Limited Releases

May 31st, 2019

The Fall of the American Empire

It is not a particularly busy week for limited releases, but there are some that are intriguing. The Fall of the American Empire is from Denys Arcand and that makes it worth keeping an eye on. Find Me is one of the smaller films on this week’s list, but it does currently have 100% positive reviews. Too Late to Die Young is also earning amazing reviews and it is a bigger release, but as a foreign-language film, it won’t escape the art house circuit. More...
