Le Dep is a 2015 Canadian psychological drama film directed by Sonia Boileau. [1] Set in a fictional Innu community, [2] the film's dialogue is mostly in French, with some Innu-aimun. Le Dep is the first First Nations production of Telefilm Canada's Micro-Budget program. [3] [4] The film's world premiere was at the 2015 Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, [5] following which the film played various festivals in Canada, the United States, and United Kingdom [6] [7] [8] and had a theatrical run in Montreal. [2]
The film tells the story of a young Innu woman (played by Ève Ringuette) who is held at gunpoint one night while working at a convenience store in a small First Nations community in rural Quebec. [2]
In Variety, reviewer Alissa Simon found the film "an earnest but engaging social-issue drama", and commented, "its condensed framework and beaucoup dialogue make the pic resemble a classic three-act play." [9]
In Le Soleil, reviewer Éric Moreault found that the film was full of good intentions but lacked dramatic tension and plausibility. [10]
At the 2015 Vancouver International Film Festival, the Canadian Images features jury gave Boileau an honourable mention in the Emerging Canadian Director category for Le Dep. [11]
At the 2015 American Indian Film Festival in San Francisco, Ringuette won the best actress award for her performance in Le Dep [12] (she had previously won the same award in 2012 for the film Mesnak). [13]
