La Contemplation du mystère is a Canadian drama film, directed by Albéric Aurtenèche and released in 2021.[1] The film stars Emmanuel Schwartz as Éloi, a man who is returning to his small hometown in Quebec to partake in a group ritual commemorating his father's death in a hunting accident a year earlier, only to end up using psychedelic drugs such as DMT and ayahuasca in his quest to understand the event's meaning in his life.[2]

The film's cast also includes Gilles Renaud, Martin Dubreuil, François Papineau and Sarah-Jeanne Labrosse.[2]

Production on the film started in October 2019.[3] The film was originally slated to premiere at the 2020 Festival du nouveau cinéma,[4] but was cancelled when the festival shifted from in-person to online screening due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec,[5] and instead premiered at the 2021 festival on October 15, 2021.[1] It opened commercially on October 22.[6]

The film was a nominee for the DGC Discovery Award at the 2020 Directors Guild of Canada awards.[7]
