Pascal Plante’s psychological serial killer thriller Red Rooms from Seattle International Film Festival starts with a courtroom setup, which reminded me of Saint Omer, and then goes to a completely different direction. Great camera work, Dominique Plante’s score, and Juliette Gariépy’s icy lead performance contribute to what is a unique and disturbing film you won’t easily be able to get out of your head.
It is very different from director Pascal Plante’s Olympic swimmer drama Nadia, Butterfly, which I had also enjoyed.
