Once upon a time in Quebec! To romanticize the most fucked up parts of adolescence is certainly a choice. I do think it deserves the reverence it gets for being a standout in Canadian cinema, mainly because it operates on its own wavelength, not for a second excusing itself for being what it is. We don't do that a whole lot as Canadians. That being said, I'm not saying I enjoyed it much. It was an uncomfortable watch.

Watched on 35mm at the TIFF Lightbox. Part of their Luc Moullet: High Altitude programming, as a selection from Moullet himself.
