Les Furies

Event Description

Event type: All Ages

This no-holds-barred sports comedy became a smash hit with audiences in Quebec when released in November, quickly becoming one of the year’s biggest Canadian successes on home turf. Audiences at KCFF now get their chance to enjoy this high-spirited and hard-hitting movie about a group of women – furious about the local arena’s decision to dump women’s sports to make room for a semi-pro men’s hockey team – banding together to form a kick-ass roller derby team and serve some payback to their doubters. Director Mélanie Charbonneau and writer Gabrielle Côté – who also stars as the team’s de facto captain Mélissa - leads a terrific cast whose collective energy never flags. And that’s just one of the strengths that make this such a quintessentially Canadian kind of crowdpleaser.
