White Room
An aimless writer (Godin) who spends his nights spying on neighbours finds his life turned upside down when he unwittingly witnesses the murder of the mysterious rock star Madelaine X (Kidder). Guilt-ridden that he did nothing to stop it, he devotes himself to finding the murderer and bringing them to justice at all costs. But his investigation quickly leads down a rabbit hole, where he finds the lines between reality and fantasy disappearing.
This brilliant second feature from acclaimed director Patricia Rozema is an enchanting journey that carries a warning about our societal obsession with celebrity culture that is as timely today as when the film was released.
