''Polytechnique'' is a 2009 film made by Creator/DenisVilleneuve, his first feature since his 9-year hiatus.
It is about the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/École_Polytechnique_massacre École Polytechnique massacre]], where an anti-feminist killed 14 women and injured 14 other people before turning his gun against himself.
Unusually, the film was shot twice: once in French and once in English.
!!Tropes found in this film:
*AxesAtSchool: The killer uses a Ruger Mini-14 to massacre the female students.
*DeliberatelyMonochrome: This was in order to avoid blood being noticeable on-screen.
*HeManWomanHater: The whole reason the killer does the massacre is that he is "fighting feminism".
*HowWeGotHere: The film starts with several female students being shot near photocopiers. The film then cuts to the killer preparing for the massacre.
*NoNameGiven: The killer's name (Marc Lépine) is never mentioned once throughout the film, not even in the credits.
*ViolenceIsDisturbing: A Villeneuve staple. Given the circumstances, this is justified.
