Boris Without Béatrice (French: Boris sans Béatrice) is a 2016 Canadian drama film directed by Denis Côté. It was selected to compete for the Golden Bear at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival.[1]

The film stars James Hyndman as Boris Malinovsky, a man who begins having several extramarital affairs to deal with his emotional and companionship needs, while caring for his wife Beatrice (Simone-Élise Girard), who has withdrawn from the world in a self-induced state of catatonic silence that defies diagnosis.[2]
