This time the story is Derrière moi (Behind Me). Betty, 23 (Carina Caputo), is an enticing and provocative city girl on a suburban summer vacation . Betty befriends modest and intelligent fourteen-year-old Léa (Charlotte Legault), and transforms this uncorrupted teenager to become her muse for mischief. Don?t tell me that you have never been enticed by the danger of fire!

 This movie spoke to the audience with little words tonight. The screen appeared with images that are foggy, quick, colorful, warming and in and out of focus. The vision felt clear - anxiousness and escapism.

Betty and  Léa are two girls looking to let loose for different reasons but, both desire change. Betty?s lifestyle of drugs, alcohol, and many indulgences lead them thumping through many parties, and intensifies the creation of an insatiable and dangerous bond.

Derrière moi is a journey of a friendship that gets tainted by manipulation. Sometimes the most interesting pictures can be painted on-screen through simply showing a persons life from day to day - this is what Ouellet does best.

Ouellet work excels to remind us similar to Betty, and eventually Léa, we all loose our innocence for reckless reasons.

Ironically I came with my best friend to see the film. I walked out of the theater with her at my side, not behind me.
