Film Description:
"Cosmos features six separate stories—all directed by different Quebec-based directors—rolled into one feature film. Holding this layered narrative together is the mystical Greek taxi driver, Cosmos, who appears at just the right moment to offer different characters rides to different destinations....]."
-- Katherine Monk (source)

Film Description:
"A lawyer meets her old lover again. Two men steal a taxi. A filmmaker is interviewed by a star reporter. A young woman meets a nostalgic old man. Fearing he is seropositive, a man is consumed with anxiety. A serial killer stalks his next victim. These disparate stories are tied together by a Greek taxi driver with a penchant for philosophizing. A highly original collective film, with six sketches that capture the pulse of Montreal's urban jungle, Cosmos/ introduced audiences to a new generation of promising Quebec filmmakers."
