Customer Reviews:

surprisingly watchable (for a french language movie).......2007-01-20

In this indy crime thriller the mousey young wife of a small time book publisher finds herself being pursued by a scary, but definitely intriguing, sampling of Montreal's underworld. As the walls close in she discovers a new side of herself, and her resourcefulness is one of this movie's pleasant surprises.

Lots of plot twists (perhaps too many--this is a movie you have to watch carefully). Lots of action for a french-language film. Solid three-dimensional characters. The famale lead was a bit wooden at times, but the French seem to like stone-faced performances from their young actresses. Two of the hoodlums chasing our heroine had undeniable screen charm and almost stole the show.

I recommend it.

WOLVES IN THE SNOW begins with the news that Antoine has been cuckolding Lucie for years. A violent marital argument ensues resulting in Antoine's death. After lying about Antoine's whereabouts, Lucie discovers his secret life of gangsters, money laundering, and violence. Followed, threatened and badgered by the gangsters, Lucie becomes trapped by her deceit. The body of Antoine disappears, other corpses appear, and the money, very quickly, becomes only the pretext of an alarming turn of events.
