The Meteor

The Meteor (2013)

Le météore

Forty-something Pierre is serving a fourteen year prison sentence. His mother, who is approaching eighty, visits him every week. Suzanne, Pierre's current wife, has moved on since he was sent away. Each character gives us a frank account of a period in their lives that seems suspended in time by the fragile connection between life on the inside and the world outside. Their destinies are linked by crime, guilt and loneliness, and like casualties of love and desire, they are dying to stick their heads above the water and breathe the air of life.

Interesting facts

The Meteor is a Canadian dramatic docufiction film, directed by François Delisle and released in 2013. The film centres on the experiences of Pierre, a man who is serving a 14-year prison sentence for manslaughter after accidentally killing a woman while driving under the influence, and his interactions with his mother, his ex-girlfriend Suzanne, a prison guard and a cellmate.

Production

The film had its origins in a creative collaboration between Delisle and photographer Anouk Lessard, in which Lessard took five photographs around which Delisle would write text. Each of the five texts he wrote appears in the film as a monologue.
