A smidge annoying... clearly the sound track was added later, and the translation track is just a bit too peppy and energetic. a bit pompous and cavalier... too grandiose to be natural conversation. Apparently a true life story... so many issues discussed. sleeping with others, inter-racial relationships, which were still a big deal then, and of course, homosexuality. It's black and white, in every sense of the word! and french canadian. Written, directed, AND starring Claude Jutra. Claude plays claude. Johanne plays Joanne. Victor plays Victor... so much laughing, but we're not sure what everyone is laughing about. the story is kind of random and artsy, but it was the 1960s, and foreign, so a certain amount can be forgiven. and extra credit for dealing with some of these forbidden issues of the time. it's okay. part of the time, we're not sure what's really going on.. gets very dark. some things are lost in translation. only 200 votes on imdb, and including this one, now two reviews.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
