Suspicions (film)

Suspicions (French: Jaloux, lit. 'Jealous') is a Canadian thriller film, directed by Patrick Demers and released in 2010.[1] The film stars Maxime Denommée and Sophie Cadieux as Thomas and Marianne, an unhappy couple who are spending time at a cottage in the country to sort out their relationship issues, whose plans are complicated by the intrusions of neighbour Jean (Benoît Gouin).[2] The film, an expansion of his earlier short film Discharge (Décharge),[3] was largely unscripted, with the actors allowed to improvise much of their own dialogue.[4]
