About Beat
Drugs, love, and violence: the fierce will to live of a certain youth in downtown Rouyn-Noranda during the 1970s. A young pusher meets an old college friend who has since become an actress, now touring the region. His world is that of the Rouyn dropouts; she aspires to other worlds and other dreams. The connection between them is no longer possible.
Directed by André Blanchard, Beat leans on a strong ensemble — Dominique Ayotte, Bertrand Gagnon, Daniel Laurendeau — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1976.
