Deaf to the City (French: Le sourd dans la ville) is a 1987 Canadian drama film, written and directed by Mireille Dansereau and based on the novel with the same name by Marie-Claire Blais.[1] The film stars Angèle Coutu as Florence, a woman who moves into a seedy hotel in downtown Montreal after her husband leaves her, befriending the hotel's owner Gloria (Béatrice Picard) and her deaf son Mike (Guillaume Lemay-Thivierge).[2]
The film was entered into the main competition at the 44th edition of the Venice Film Festival.[3]
In his 2003 book A Century of Canadian Cinema, Gerald Pratley referred to it as "a bleak story to read, and an even bleaker film to watch".[4]
