Corbo is a Canadian drama film from Quebec, written and directed by Mathieu Denis.[1]
Based on a true story, the film stars Anthony Therrien as Giovanni (Jean) Corbo, the privileged but socially alienated son of wealthy Italian-Canadian businessman Nicola Corbo (Tony Nardi) and his wife Mignonne (Marie Brassard), who becomes radicalized after a chance meeting with two young activists (Karelle Tremblay and Antoine L'Écuyer) draws him into the Front de libération du Québec.[2]
The film premiered at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival,[2] before going into general release in 2015.[1] It garnered three Canadian Screen Award nominations at the 4th Canadian Screen Awards in 2016, for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Tony Nardi) and Best Costume Design (Judy Jonker),[3] and 10 Jutra Award nominations at the 18th Jutra Awards.[4]
