* ViolenceIsDisturbing: Especially in ''Polytechnique'', ''Incendies'', ''Film/{{Prisoners}} and ''Film/{{Sicario}}'' .

He also uses a lot of Gory Discretion Shot to disallow the violence from ever becoming stylized and to make the audience reflect on its aftereffects rather than on the violence itself.

* RealLife/MeanCharacterNiceActor: Director example. His films tend to be incredibly stark, brutal and intense, with a heavy focus on the destructive and dehumanizing nature of violence. Despite that, he has been described by many of his actors as a kind, humble and collaborative director.
