The Great Darkened Days (French: La grande noirceur) is a 2018 Canadian drama film, directed by Maxime Giroux.[1] Set during World War II, the film centres on Philippe (Martin Dubreuil), a draft dodger from Quebec who is living as a drifter and Charlie Chaplin impersonator in the United States.[1] Despite its setting, however, the film makes use of some deliberate anachronisms, including a scene where R.E.M.'s contemporary song "Everybody Hurts" plays on the radio.[2]
The film's cast also includes Sarah Gadon, Cody Fern, Luzer Twersky, Romain Duris, Reda Kateb and Lise Roy.
The film premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.[3]
