'Le Problème D'infiltration' - Everything Is Under Control...
(Translated from French.) "Everything is under control." Those are the words spoken by Louis (Christian Bégin), the protagonist of Robert Morin’s new movie Le Problème D’infiltration, as he’s cooking dinner for his guests. At this specific point in the scene, we’d be inclined to believe him; exchanging jokes and laughs with his friends, Louis is meticulously preparing his meal, a glass of wine on the counter. A perfectly trivial moment; one could mistake this for Bégin’s cooking show, Curieux Bégin. This is only a facade, however, as the full picture Le Problème D’infiltration reveals is one of a man with an unquenchable thirst for control, whose perfect world slowly crumbles around him. A smothering spectacle of madness, Morin’s film, with audacious stylistic choices and a mesmerizing performance from its lead actor, entraps the viewer in an experience as captivating as it is nerve-racking.
