Après le très réussi Deux Secondes, la Québécoise Manon Briand a pu profiter du soutien du producteur Luc Besson pour sa deuxième réalisation. Couronné meilleur long métrage canadien par le public du Festival des films du monde en 2002, La Turbulence des fluides mêle habilement destin, science et émotions.
Alice est sismologue à Tokyo. Lorsque les marées disparaissent à Baie-Comeau, sa ville natale, c’est évidemment elle qu’on envoie, à son corps défendant. Elle découvrira que d’autres phénomènes étranges secouent également la petite ville, et le climat lourd et humide ne fera rien pour préserver la rigueur scientifique dont elle aurait besoin. Ce n’est pourtant qu’en baissant sa garde qu’Alice saura remarquer le beau Marc Vandal.
Désir, désordre, danger : tels sont les trois thèmes sous lesquels Manon Briand place ce long métrage. Avec beaucoup de maturité, elle explore la liaison presque cosmique qui relie la mer, la terre et les corps. Lourd et léger à la fois, le film possède de fins dialogues, servis par une toujours charismatique Pascale Bussières, en femme soumise à des forces qui la dépassent, et par un troublant Jean-Nicolas Verreault, en pilote d’avion déboussolé, sans oublier la présence de la trop rare Geneviève Bujold. Œuvre d’ambiance plus que d’action, électrique et quasi surnaturelle, La Turbulence des fluides peut aussi compter sur une réalisation cohérente et une bande sonore lancinante, et s’impose comme un film riche, complexe et complet. --Helen Faradji
Product Description
A scientist living in Tokyo is sent to a small Canadian town to study the tides in this visually inventive feature from director Manon Briand. Suspecting that the cecassion of the tides may indicate an impending earthquake Seismologist Alice (Pascale Bussieres) arrives in her hometown of Baie-Comeau Quebec to commence her investigation. Soon confronted by numerous figures from her past the unusual weather and inexplicable behavior of the citizens lead Alice to believe that something beyond her comprehension is occurring to her old hometown. With a mysterious waitress (Genevive Bujold) a lusting woman a pack of nuns a sleepwalking child and a widower pilot who grows ever closer to Alice all factoring into the strange goings on it seems as if human emotions may have somehow played an integral part in the sudden climate shift.

excellent purchase,
This review is from: La Turbulence Des Fluides (aka Chaos And Desire) (DVD)
One of the best Canadian Films I've seen, La Turbulence Des Fluides (Chaos and Desire)combines suspense, turmoil and deep inner emotions to pull a small Quebecois town through their regrets and sadness. Unseen forces play out in a pantomime thriller, with the end result to resolve what should be a force of nature, yet plays out as a force of chance. More as a direct translation, "The Turbulence of the Fluids" relates not only to the plot of the film, set against a ceased tide flow. It also pulls direct relationship to each individual against the Baie (Bay) which has lain dormant since one peticular date & has brought Alice, with all the baggage of a failed relationship, across the globe to return to her place of birth in hope of "the big one".
