SYNOPSIS: Burnt out and restless, Max (Sébastien Huberdeau) and Linda (Hélène Florent) flee Acadia and head toward the Great Canadian Northwest.

Thrown together by circumstance, these rootless souls form a tapestry of relationships that pushes them to the edge. | Photos, Downloads, Extras >
   

A “road film” that explores Canadian highways as well as the back alleys of the mind, YELLOWKNIFE expands on themes established in FULL BLAST, Rodrigue Jean’s previous feature film. Alienation, marginality, and raw sexuality permeate this moody and highly personal work.

“Seethes with Lynchian creepiness.
YELLOWKNIFE could be the best-looking Canadian film ever made.”
