Bluff is a 2007 Canadian comedy film. It was directed, written and produced by Simon Olivier Fecteau and Marc-André Lavoie.[1] The film premiered in August 2007 as the opening film of the Montreal World Film Festival,[2] before going into commercial release in September.[1] PlotTaking place almost entirely within a single apartment, the film opens with a building inspector (Jean-Philippe Pearson) finding a shocking discovery in the basement to a building that is about to be destroyed. He contacts the landlord and, as the pair wait for a police officer (Denis Trudel) to show up, the story of this discovery comes uncovered through vignettes depicting the various tenants of the apartment over the previous 15 years.[3] Vignettes include the stories of Julien (Fecteau), a guy nervously preparing for a job interview with the assistance of his girlfriend (Ève Duranceau); Michel (Alexis Martin and Josée (Isabelle Blais), a couple desperately searching the apartment for a lost painting after learning that it might be worth over $100,000; Nico (Emmanuel Bilodeau) and Céline (Julie Perreault), a couple who have invited Serge (David La Haye) over for a ménage à trois; Patrice (Marc Messier) and Chuck (Nicolas Canuel), a pair of bumbling crooks who attempt to rob the landlord; and Georges (Rémy Girard), an older man who challenges his daughter Julie's (Marie-Laurence Moreau) boyfriend Sébastien (Pierre-François Legendre) to a boxing match in an attempt to prove his claim, believed by absolutely nobody he knows, that he was once a championship boxer.[3] The cast also includes Gilbert Sicotte and Raymond Bouchard.
