A Teenage Piece of the Planet in À l'ouest de Pluton (West of Pluto)

  • Summary

  • The coming-of-age story is one that is often explored in film, television, and other art forms, and one that captures a specific and unique time. For filmmakers Henry Bernadet and Myriam Verreault, making a film about teenage life in suburban Quebec City was about more than just capturing the drama of daily high school life. In their 2008 film À l'ouest de Pluton, they present teenage characters in an impressively uncensored and hyper realistic way, often leaving the audience wondering if they’re watching a documentary instead of a fictional drama. In this episode of Cinema Reignited, we hear from filmmaker Henry Bernadet about the making of À l'ouest de Pluton  and actor David Bouchard about his experience as a teen actor in the film.
