Summit Circle

Synopsis

What the critics said

• "Summit Circle, with its deliberate, undifferentiated calmness, is a prime example of soporific filmmaking, not because it's dull but because it's determined that no outbursts, whether of joy or sorrow, will muss up the benumbing tranquility. A little shake-up would have gone a long way toward making this tragedy a more affecting work." –Variety
• "Contre toute espérance is a movie one lives instead of watches. It affirms Émond's position as one of Canada's – and the world's — great humanist filmmakers."
