Pale Face (French: Visage pâle) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Claude Gagnon and released in 1985. The film stars Luc Matte as Claude "C.H." Hébert, a former hockey player turned coach who takes a camping trip in the wilderness; when he is physically attacked by a group of backwoods residents (Guy Thauvette, Gilbert Sicotte and Marcel Leboeuf), he is defended by Peter (Denis Lacroix), a First Nations man who is killed in the altercation. Peter's sister Marie (Allison Odjig) subsequently shelters him on the nearby reserve, despite her grief over her brother's death and her history of distrust of white people.
The cast also includes Josie Mathias, Christine Séguin, Louise Richer, Claude Desjardins, Angèle Matte, Cécile Mathias, Michel David, Claudette Lapierre and Christian Talbot in supporting roles.
