About
Q&R with filmmaker Yan Giroux and author David Clerson – Friday, May 1 at 7:00 PM at Cinéma Beaubien. Tickets here.
My Son Came Back to Disappear is the eponymous adaptation of David Clerson’s novel. This impressionistic film tells the story of Suzanne, whose isolated life in the forest is disrupted by the sudden return of her estranged son Mathieu, whom she hasn’t seen for so many years. Day after day, she is burdened by Mathieu’s desire to return to the peat bog—a hidden place in the forest haunted by their shared memories of the past. At first, she resists, unwilling to show him the path but finally gives in and leads the way. As they get nearer, mother and son weave a fragile bond – if only for a moment. Despite her deep love, Suzanne cannot keep her son from his final journey.
