Cabin fever is rarely as mesmerizing as it is in Who By Fire, the latest from respected Québécois writer-director Philippe Lesage. Albert and Blake were once successful filmmaking partners—the former as writer and the latter as director—before creative and philosophical differences drove them apart and set them on different career paths. After years of estrangement, Albert plus three teenage guests—Albert’s son, daughter, and son’s best friend—are invited for an extended getaway at Blake’s grand cabin in the woods. As the wine flows freely, and long-simmering resentments rise to the surface, the mood frequently shifts on a dime. Whether that leads to a deeply personal shouting match or a cathartic free-for-all dance party to the B-52’s’ “Rock Lobster” is always unpredictable. Isolated in the lush beauty of the French wilderness with a stockpile of hunting rifles, surging adolescent hormones, oversized egos, plentiful alcohol, unexpected guests, and bottomless animosity, what could go wrong? ~OO
