Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of a wave of Quebec cinema exploring rural masculinity in crisis—think Xavier Dolan meets the Dardenne brothers in a barn.
The title 'Cimes' (peaks/summits) ironically contrasts with the film's emotional basement—Daigle has called it 'a movie about people who never reach anywhere.'
