Interesting facts

The Great Darkened Days is a 2018 Canadian drama film, directed by Maxime Giroux. Set during World War II, the film centres on Philippe, a draft dodger from Quebec who is living as a drifter and Charlie Chaplin impersonator in the United States. Despite its setting, however, the film makes use of some deliberate anachronisms, including a scene where R.E.M.'s contemporary song "Everybody Hurts" plays on the radio.
