Black List (French: Liste noire) is a 1995 Canadian thriller film. It was directed by Jean-Marc Vallée (in his feature directorial debut), written by Sylvain Guy and produced by Marcel Giroux. Black List stars Michel Côté, Geneviève Brouillette, Sylvie Bourque, André Champagne and Aubert Pallascio.
Following the trial of a judge who was found with prostitute Gabrielle Angers (Geneviève Brouillette), Gabrielle gives a list of her clients to a new judge, Jacques Savard (Michel Côté), which contains the names of some very influential judges and politicians. Dead bodies and death threats follow. Jacques' own life seems to be in danger.
The film earned $1 million during its theatrical run in Quebec and $800,000 in the United States.
Black List was the highest-grossing film in Quebec in 1995.[1] It received nine nominations at the 16th Genie Awards, which were held on January 14, 1996.[2]
Guy subsequently wrote and directed The List, an English-language remake of Black List which was released in 2000.[3]
