Ville-Marie is a Canadian drama film, directed by Guy Édoin and released in 2015. [1]
The film stars Monica Bellucci as Sophie, a successful French film actress who is in Montreal to make a new film and to reconnect with her estranged gay son Thomas ( Aliocha Schneider), whom she has not seen in three years due to her unwillingness to tell him anything about his father. [2] However, the two are drawn into an unexpected tragedy when Thomas witnesses a young woman walking directly into oncoming traffic at a street corner, fatefully connecting their emotional difficulties to those of Pierre ( Patrick Hivon), the paramedic who arrives to treat the young woman, and Marie ( Pascale Bussières), the emergency department nurse on duty at the hospital. [2]
The film premiered at the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival. [1]
