Falcon Lake is a 2022 coming-of-age drama film, directed and co-written by Charlotte Le Bon.[3] Adapted from the graphic novel Une sœur by Bastien Vivès, the film stars Joseph Engel as Bastien, a 13-year-old boy from Paris, France, on a family vacation in Quebec, where he meets and develops a relationship with Chloé (Sara Montpetit), the 16-year-old daughter of his mother's friend Louise (Karine Gonthier-Hyndman).[4]
The cast also includes Monia Chokri as Bastien's mother Violette, as well as Jeff Roop, Pierre-Luc Lafontaine, and Thomas Laperrière in supporting roles.
The film was shot in mid-2021 in and around Gore, Quebec[5] during the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]
The film debuted in the Director's Fortnight program at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival on May 18, 2022.[3] It had its Canadian premiere at the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival.[7]
