Heretic has acquired world sales rights to “Nobody’s Violence,” the 17th feature from prolific Canadian auteur Denis Côté which world premieres in main competition at the Locarno Film Festival.
The director’s latest sees him reuniting with actor Larissa Corriveau, the star of previous features including “Social Hygiene,” “That Kind of Summer” and the 2023 Locarno premiere “Mademoiselle Kenopsia.” Here she stars as Mira, a solitary woman working on behalf of a mysterious organization that offers assisted death to desperate individuals.
With seemingly no plan in life and no direction to guide her, Mira falls in with Madeleine and Ludo, two free-spirited hedonists living deep in the forest. There she begins to question her wandering life and reassess the dark pacts she forges with the desperate souls who seek out her services.
“Nobody’s Violence” is written and directed by Côté and produced by Guillaume Vasseur and Gabrielle Tougas-Fréchette, with the participation of Sodec and Téléfilm Canada and the support of Quebec’s Crédit d’Impôt Cinféma et Télévisio – Gestion Sodec, Canada’s Crédits d’Impôts, Télé-Quebec, H264 and Heretic. It stars Corriveau alongside Philippe Rebbot, Xavier Bergeron, Gabrielle Lazure and Pierrette Robitaille.
