Canadian filmmaker Xavier Dolan’s The Night Logan Woke Up, a five-episode psychological thriller based on a play by Michel Marc Bouchard, is the director’s first TV series. Shot on 16mm film, the work was screened at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival, won six Prix Gémeaux and was picked up by Netflix; only since it’s not available in Vietnam, we had to watch it on our laptop with a VPN. The story, which involves a dysfunctional family with a dark past, is pretty disturbing stuff and not something we’d recommend to just anybody – but we just had to watch it, since Dolan is high up on our list of favorite filmmakers. Colorist Jérôme Cloutier of MELS in Montreal, Quebec, a frequent collaborator of Xavier Dolan, was nominated for his work on the show in the TV series/episodic category of the 2023 FilmLight Colour Awards.
