Mira (Larissa Corriveau) works for a mysterious organization that facilitates euthanasia requests, led by her charismatic, hedonistic boss Ludo (Philippe Rebbot). Traveling from client to client in a world where death has quietly become a business, she is silent and seemingly impervious to the weight of her work. However, after crossing paths with the free-spirited Pierric (Xavier Bergeron), she begins questioning her purpose.
Moving fluidly between sci-fi parable, conspiracy thriller, and surreal comedy, Denis Côté’s Nobody’s Violence is an unpredictable, atmospheric tale anchored by a remarkable performance from Corriveau. Côté embraces the film’s restless energy, creating a world both eerie and playful and filled with unexpected shifts in tone that keep the viewer constantly off balance. Corriveau is compelling as Mira, bringing an enigmatic intensity to a character whose emotional awakening unfolds through subtle shifts in her demeanor. Bold, daring, and unmistakably Côté, Nobody’s Violence is another fascinating entry in the filmmaker’s singular body of work.

Denis Côté
Denis Côté, born 1973 in New Brunswick, was a short-film director, journalist, and film critic before directing his first feature, Drifting States, in 2005. His award-winning films explore themes of solitude and alienation, often through eccentric characters. Curling (2010) won honours at the 63rd Locarno Film Festival and Vic+Flo Saw a Bear (2013) won the Silver Bear for Innovation at the 63rd Berlinale. Highlighted in more than 40 retrospectives worldwide, he was recognized with the Prix Albert-Tessier in 2024, the highest honor in cinema awarded by the Government of Quebec. Nobody’s Violence (2026) is his 17th feature film.
