City of Shadows (French: La Cité) is a 2010 Canadian drama film, written and directed by Kim Nguyen.[1] Partially inspired by but not a direct adaptation of Albert Camus's novel The Plague, the film stars Jean-Marc Barr as Maxime Vincent, a war doctor serving in North Africa who comes across a city dealing with an outbreak of bubonic plague.[2]
The film was shot in Tunisia in 2008,[3] but commercial release was delayed until 2010 by financial problems at original distributor Christal Films.[4]
