About This Movie

Through the Mist is a compelling exploration of Dédé Fortin’s life and the cultural backdrop of Québécois music. The film captures the vibrant spirit of the late 90s and early 2000s, where Fortin's songwriting really shined. It’s not just another biopic; you feel the weight of his struggles, his passion for music, and the camaraderie within Les Colocs. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to linger, almost like a song that builds up to its crescendo. The performances are heartfelt, especially the lead, who embodies Fortin's essence well. The practical effects during the musical sequences add authenticity, pulling you deeper into the music scene of that era.
