\n\t\t\t\t

Le Danger en face is a theatrical and psychotic short film, adapted from a graphic novel, that embraces a raw absurdity.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

While observing life outside his shop, a barber thinks he sees someone who is after his life and his family. Confronted with imminent danger, the barber decides to react.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>

The Danger in Front is a film about those moments when our imagination runs wild. This film is the culmination of the scenarios we create in our minds when we are alone. It is a space where we are completely free to do as we please and with whomever we choose. It is a zone that can purge all that is abominable and toxic buried within us. There are no rules: here, we are the sole tyrants of the justice we wish to impose on others. It is not uncommon to have this kind of thought. Ask the people around you: everyone, at one time or another, has been pushed to the breaking point, to the extent of harboring violent intentions toward people who have been unpleasant to them. Guided by upbringing and social conscience, our values prevent us from acting on these impulses.
But the mechanism sometimes takes hold against our will, and cruel impulses can besiege us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t[ Read more + ]<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\u00abThis film, which can be described as a dark comedy, immerses us in the slightly paranoid psyche of a barber (Bruno Marcil) who, looking out the window of his shop, sees a threat to his peaceful existence in a client (Guillaume Cyr) seated at a restaurant. Hilarious and exhilarating, the film strongly reminded us of filmmaker Ryland Tews\u2019 work in Lake Michigan Monster.\u00bb<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u00abBeneath its whimsical appearance, the film actually highlights the fantasized violence of our image-driven culture, its objectifying impulse, and its taste for hubris, resulting in a short film that is both exhilarating and morbid.\u00bb<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t
