Days of Darkness (2007)

A Wonderful Combining of Earlier Elements With A Non-Ending

[22 December 2016]

I loved the vivid social points brought up by this film. I have considered myself a great fan of Arcand since "Jesus of Montreal" in the late 1980's... that having been said, I wondered how he was going to tie the stories in this film together to complete the film. The answer is... he didn't. The ending was most likely the reason this film was screened out of Cannes in '07. The close is a non-ending, so if this is a "spoiler", sorry, but not only did it not make sense in a real-world scenario, it doesn't make sense in the film world either. The production either ran out of plot or money or both... don't expect a resolve to which you can feel satisfied. This having been said, the film up to the last thirty minutes was fun, biting and wonderful.
