Directed by Denis Côté | Canada | 96 mins

Part of our Canadian Cinema in the New Millennium series, presented in collaboration with the University of Calgary's Department of Communication, Media and Film. 

An iconoclastic voice in Canadian cinema, Denis Côté is renowned for his confrontational, eccentric and offbeat films.

Set in rural Québec, Curling tells the story of an aloof father who insists that he and his daughter should never leave their home. But as his daughter's adolescence takes hold, this precarious state of affairs finds itself threatened by her desire for the outside world and the troubling secrets of their shared past. 

The film produces a threatening, mysterious atmosphere that asks its audience to consider the universal need for human connection, an issue we all have thought much about in recent years.
