Synopsis

From director Denis Côté, Carcasses uncovers the life of Jean-Paul Colmor, a 74–year–old man. After an accident early in his life he took a retreat in collecting cars, wrecks and junk, for the last 40 years. Living among tons and tons of debris, he quietly works each day on his unimaginable property, furnishing and dealing car parts to mechanics and other iron afficionados. One day, four intruders visit Colmor in search of a corner of twisted paradise. The old man proves to be a lot more than they expected. Critically acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic, for style and substance, Carcasses uses documentary and fictitious elements in trying to get at the soul of an unthinkable place.
