Trailer de "Polytechnique", de Denis Villeneuve (Cannes, Quincena de Realizadores)



The English trailer for the Canadian-Quebec film "Polytechnique", released by Alliance Vivafilm and Remstar, and directed by Denis Villeneuve. The film depicts the Montreal Massacre of 1989, where a young man murdered 14 women at Montreal's Polytechnique school. It was the deadliest school shooting of the 20th century, and remains to this day the deadliest massacre in Canadian history.

Easily one of the most controversial films in Canadian cinema history. In theatres February 6, 2009. Both trailers feature no spoken dialogue, and the only difference between the French and English versions is the wording. The film will be featured at the 2009 edition of the Cannes Film Festival, as one of three Canadian films.

Ya sé... uso mucho steadycam, sigo a jóvenes estudiantes secundarios por los pasillos de la escuela, uno a la vez, de tal forma que la narrativa de continuos cambios en el tiempo hasta llegar al momento del tiroteo. Lo que aún no decido del todo es si usaré blanco y negro o color.
