L'interdit (1976)

Directed by Pierre Maheu

Documentary · 1h 28m

Shot in the 1970s at L'Abri d'Érasme, this controversial feature-length documentary by Pierre Maheu challenges conventional therapeutic methods aimed at isolating patients from society. It takes us into the world of psychiatrist Roger Lemieux, who advocates the abolition of any distinction between "therapist" and "patient", professional and private life. His schizophrenic "patients" are "guests" with whom he can go as far as intimate contact to achieve their recovery.
