More about Ginette Laurin’s “la chambre blanche”
In this film, nine characters are shut inside the White Room (la chambre blanche), that resembles the interior of a psychiatric institution. This place is at the heart of the film’s dramatic development: it encloses the characters’ madness, violence, chaos, and euphoria, and is shown to be a main cause of the suffering of these prisoners of inner worlds, placed in enforced, extreme promiscuity. Rather than telling the stories of the characters, the film seeks to capture the energy and tension of these beings buried alive in their madness and their futile attempts to escape it. la chambre blanche is a production of Amérimage-Spectra with the participation of Canadian television channels ARTV and BRAVO!
