Dossier De Presse Vivre à 100 milles à l’heure De Louis Bélanger Produit par François Tremblay Distribué par Les Films Opale Relations de presse IXION Communications, 514 495-8176, [email protected] Vivre à 100 milles à l’heure est un grand mensonge inspiré par un fond de vérité. Un peu comme pour mon film Gaz Bar Blues, il s’agit une fois de plus de repartir sur les traces de mes souvenirs, une partie étant autobiographique et l’autre faite d’évènements réinventés. Ces jeunes amis, qui veulent devenir grands trop vite, feront beaucoup d’erreurs de jeunesse et apprendront la vie « à la dure » en ne perdant jamais l’espoir d’un avenir meilleur. C’est l’amitié et le goût des sensations fortes qui les motivent. Un film initiatique sur une certaine jeunesse. Celle d’avant les vraies responsabilités, où nous étions habités d’un sentiment que rien de grave ne pouvait nous arriver et que nous étions éternels. Louis Bélanger Liste artistique Louis (18 ans et +) Rémi Goulet (14 à 17 ans) Elijah Patrice-Baudelot (10 à 14 ans) Matt Hébert Daniel (18 ans et +) Antoine L’Écuyer (14 à 17 ans) Zakary Methot (10 à 14 ans) Nicolas Guay Éric (18 ans et +) Félix-Antoine Cantin (14 à 17 ans) Dylan Walsh Nathalie (18 ans et +) Sandrine Poirier-Allard (13 à 16 ans) Cassandra Latreille (10 à 14 ans) Anais Gonzalez Pérusse Maxime Dumontier Tino Benoît McGinnis Mère de Louis Marie-Hélène Thibault Liste Technique Scénariste et réalisateur Louis Bélanger Producteur François Tremblay Productrices exécutives Lyse Lafontaine Nathalie Brunet Directeur de production Alexandre Frigon Directeur de la photographie Pierre Mignot Concepteur artistique Mario Hervieux Casting Nathalie Boutrie, A.D.C.Q.

Le film est distribué au Canada par Les Films Opale, sous la direction de Christian Larouche. Il prendra l’affiche au Québec le 27 septembre en 2019. Synopsis Louis, Éric et Daniel sont inséparables. Ils sont jeunes, téméraires et vivent à 100 milles à l'heure. Rapidement, les jeux d'enfant prennent le chemin du petit crime désorganisé. Leur amitié sera mise à rude épreuve. Cette comédie dramatique pose un regard tendre et décalé sur la période à la fois trouble et enivrante du passage à l'âge adulte, avec la ville de Québec et ses années 1970 et 1980 en toile de fond. BIOGRAPHIES Louis Bélanger, scénariste, réalisateur Louis Bélanger est un des rares créateurs du Québec à pouvoir se revendiquer à la fois du cinéma d’auteur et du cinéma populaire. Résolument campée à hauteur d’homme, inventive sans hermétisme, personnelle et universelle, son œuvre dessine des paysages riches et immédiatement familiers, qui font la joie des cinéphiles d’ici et d’ailleurs. Louis collabore avec Denis Chouinard sur trois courts métrages avant de réaliser en solo Post mortem. Ce tout premier long métrage, qui frappe l’imaginaire par sa proposition audacieuse et son climat insolite, est désigné en 1999 par Variety comme « un des films les plus frappants à émerger du Canada français depuis des lustres ». Cinq prix Jutra et trois prix Génie complètent un tableau de chasse amorcé au Festival des films du monde, où Bélanger a obtenu le Prix de la mise en scène. En 2003, Gaz Bar Blues reçoit un accueil tout aussi chaleureux, tant de la part de la critique que de celle du public. Inspiré de la propre histoire familiale de son auteur, fils d’un propriétaire de station-service de Québec, le film fait le tour du monde et remporte de nombreux prix. Tambour battant, suivront Le génie du crime (2006), The Timekeeper (2009), Route 132 (2010) et plus récemment Les mauvaises herbes (2016), une œuvre tonique et inspirée par laquelle Bélanger renoue avec le succès public et qui sortira en France. On doit également à Louis Bélanger deux documentaires remarqués (Lauzon Lauzone, 2000 ; Louis Martin : journaliste, 2011), ainsi qu’une demi-douzaine de contributions pour la télévision. Guy Bélanger, compositeur Au début, en 1974, Guy Bélanger semble définitivement se diriger vers une carrière axée sur le blues traditionnel. Armé de ses harmonicas à sa ceinture, il fait la rencontre de Bob Walsh, aussi originaire de la ville de Québec qui l’initiera aux rudiments du blues, partageant les différentes scènes blues de la Capitale, première rencontre avec la vraie école. Au cours des années, il aura l’occasion de côtoyer de grands noms tels les Muddy Waters, Koko Taylor, Big Mama Thornton, James Cotton et Dutch Mason. Toutes ces différentes expériences contribueront grandement à élargir ses horizons musicaux. En 2003, la rencontre avec le guitariste Claude Fradette donnera le jour à la bande sonore du film Gaz Bar Blues de Louis Bélanger qui remportera le prix Jutra de la meilleure musique de film et du Lys Blues du meilleur album en 2003. Leur collaboration est toujours vivante et ils signent ensemble la musique du film The Timekeeper (2009) du même réalisateur ainsi que la musique des séries télévisées Les Boys (SRC) de Louis Saïa (4 saisons) et Séquelles de Louis Bélanger à Série Plus. En 2011, en collaboration avec le compositeur Benoît Charest, Guy se verra décerner un 2e Jutra (meilleure musique originale) pour le film Route 132 de Louis Bélanger. Il signera également, mais en solo cette fois- ci, la musique du film Les mauvaises herbes du même cinéaste en 2016. Il se joindra aussi à la tournée québécoise de Céline Dion à l'été 2016 à titre d'invité spécial! Gagnant de 14 trophées Lys Blues depuis 2003, 2 fois lauréat du prestigieux Harmonica Player of the Year au Canada remis au Maple Blues Awards à Toronto en janvier 2014 et janvier 2018 et du prix André Gagnon 2016 (catégorie musique instrumentale) remis par la SPACQ, laissant entrevoir encore une longue route pavée de nouvelles aventures musicales, Guy vous invite à découvrir ses réalisations. Claude Fradette, compositeur, guitariste Compositeur, arrangeur et interprète, il s’est fait connaître pour sa collaboration avec de nombreux artistes chevronnés tels Fredric Gary Comeau, Michel Faubert (prix Félix pour l’album Rock de l’année), Marie-Jo Thério, Yves Desrosiers, Paul Piché, Bori, Les Country Girls et Richard Desjardins pour L’existoire (lauréat de 2 prix Félix), ainsi que sa participation aux spectacles Krieg et Le café des aveugles du groupe de théâtre Carbone 14. Il a signé la musique de plusieurs films, notamment Délivrez-moi (Denis Chouinard), Black Eyed Dog (Pierre Gang), et Gaz Bar Blues de Louis Bélanger (prix Jutra 2004 pour la meilleure musique). Il signe également la musique du documentaire de Richard Desjardins Le peuple invisible. On lui doit également, en collaboration avec Guy Bélanger, la musique de la télésérie Les boys de Louis Saïa. Il fait partie de la distribution de l’opéra folk Les Filles de Caleb mis en scène par Yvon Bilodeau sur une musique composée par Michel Rivard. Rémi Goulet, Louis Jacques (18 ans et +) Natif de Lavaltrie, Rémi Goulet fait ses débuts comme comédien à l’âge de 7 ans où il participe à plusieurs publicités, telles Vidéotron, McCain, Kellogg et bien plus! À 12 ans, il participe à l’émission La classe de 5e, puis il obtient un 1er rôle (Étienne) sur la production 100 milliards de neurones. En 2011, Rémi fait partie de la distribution de l’émission 30 vies dans laquelle il tient le rôle d’Alex, fils de Gabrielle et Pascal (Marina Orsini et de Jean-Nicolas Verreault). Dans la même année, il obtient un 1er rôle (Anthony) dans la série jeunesse Tactik. Il interprète Joey dans le tout premier film québécois en version 3D : Les Pee-Wee 3D, réalisé par Éric Tessier. Il joue également le rôle de Maxime dans la série web Max Charlie et leur défi. Il incarne Rémi, le fils de Suzanne (Céline Bonnier) dans la série dramatique Unité 9 et Francis Veilleux dans le film de François Péloquin Le bruit des arbres. En 2017, il reprend son personnage de Joey dans Junior majeur, la suite des Pee-wee 3D, du même réalisateur et on le verra en 2018 dans Répertoire des villes disparues le plus récent opus de Denis Côté. De 2015 à 2017, Rémi a participé à plusieurs projets en télévision : Le temps qu’il faut, Miséricorde, Mes petits malheurs, District 31, L’académie et L’heure bleue dans lequel il joue présentement le rôle de Xavier Martel. Au cinéma il interprète le 1er rôle Charlie Hall dans le film La Marina du réalisateur Etienne Galloy. Elijah Patrice-Baudelot, Louis Jacques (14 à 17 ans) Elijah n’en est pas à ses premières armes devant la caméra, après des participations de figurants il obtient le rôle de Sébastien enfant dans Unité 9 en 2016, celui de Jacob dans MED, de Carlos dans Jenny et de Théo dans la série Faits divers en 2017. En 2019, il interprète Éliot Charbonneau, un premier rôle dans la série Alerte Amber, réalisé par Stephan Beaudoin. Hormis son jeu d’acteur, Elijah a beaucoup pratiqué de sports divers allant de la plongée, au hockey, au soccer et a également pris des cours de batterie. Matt Hébert, Louis Jacques (10 à 14 ans) On a pu voir Matt Hébert en 2016 à la télévision dans la série L’heure bleue ainsi que dans Olivier en 2017.

Barney’s candid confessional spans four decades and two continents, and includes three wives (Rosamund Pike, Minnie Driver, and Rachelle Lefevre), one outrageous father (Dustin Hoffman), and a charmingly dissolute best friend (Scott Speedman). BARNEY’S VERSION takes us through the many highs -- and a few too many lows -- of a long and colorful life with an unlikely hero at its center —the unforgettable Barney Panofsky. BARNEY'S VERSION About The Story Based on Mordecai Richler's prize-winning comic novel--his last and, arguably, best--BARNEY'S VERSION is the warm, wise, and witty story of Barney Panofsky, (Paul Giamatti), a seemingly ordinary man who lives an extraordinary life. A candid confessional, told (as its title implies) entirely from Barney's point of view, the film spans three decades and two continents, taking us through the many highs, and a few too many lows, of our hero's long and colorful life. The reason that Barney must tell his story now--or, at least his version of it-- is that his sworn enemy has just published a tell- all book that dredges up the more compromising chapters of Barney's past: the many, often murky entrepreneurial schemes that lead to his success; the three marriages, all of them terminated; and, most problematically, the mysterious, as-yet-unsolved disappearance of Barney’s best friend, Boogie, a possible murder for which Barney remains the prime suspect.

A space where narrative constraints no longer exist (we are constantly exploring different versions of the same story) and where I could WORST CASE, WE GET MARRIED, is the story of Aïcha (14 years old), those who love her, and the type of love explore cinematic language and new avenues, from directing to images and sounds, in a unique way. that consumes and destroys you. In addition to working with an extraordinary young actress like Sophie Nélisse (Aïcha), I was also reunited with Karine Vanasse (Isabelle/mother) Living with her mother Isabelle (Karine Vanasse), whom Aïcha (Sophie Nélisse) has yet to forgive for leaving her whom I worked with in EMPORTE-MOI (Set Me Free) and discovered new talent, Jean-Simon Leduc (Baz).
