Organizers of Cinéfest Sudbury are set to bring co-writer/director Raymond St-Jean’s Crépuscule pour un tueur (Dusk for a Hitman) to the big screen as part of the Red Carpet Patron Program.
The film, shot entirely in Quebec, will be screened at SilverCity Sudbury on Wednesday, July 26 at 7 p.m. and will be presented in French with English subtitles.
“Crépuscule pour un tueur” (Dusk for a Hitman) is set in 1979 and follows Donald Lavoie (Éric Bruneau), a fearsome hitman who works under the orders of Claude Dubois (Benoît Gouin), head of the Montreal Southwest mafia.
Donald takes it upon himself to take under his wing recruit Serge Rivard (Joachim Robillard), a hot little crook who soon gets him involved in a botched double murder. Donald avoids justice thanks to the lawyers of the DuBois clan, but this is only a temporary setback for Detective Sergeant Roger Burns (Sylvain Marcel), who wants to convince Lavoie to become an informant.
To test his killer’s loyalty, Dubois asks him to eliminate someone close to him. Donald disobeys the order and joins forces with other criminals to finance his exile in South America. Hunted by the Dubois clan on one side and Burns’ investigators on the other, Donald finds himself caught in a tightening vise.
