In the follow-up to his celebrated Barbarian Invasions, Denys Arcand gives us the story not of a dying man, but of an ordinary bourgeois trapped in a deadlock. Meet Jean-Marc, civil clerk, failed husband and father and given to perpetual ennui. Jean-Marc’s only outlet is his fantasies, where he is transformed into the knight in shining armor, a TV celebrity, a successful author or an irresistible lady killer. But everything comes with a price and the boundaries between the two worlds will soon start to merge dangerously. Arcand unravels a surreal, dream-like universe, adding ?for good measure- plenty of satire and healthy doses of bitter reality. Age of Ignorance was selected to close this year’s Cannes Festival.
