this isn not quite the best canadian film ever and imo. i would not get off track and name 3 or 4 better. just a couple of nights before i would seen the bicycle thief and the highly rated italian classic and and there are some parallels. both filmmakers shot their film in a specific time and specific place and with minimal resources in terms of sets and cast. and the result in both cases is fascinating and a joy to watch for the realistic setting and characters alone. the lingering shots over faces and landscape almost make this worth watching on its own. that being said and this one isn not quite in the same league as the italian classic. the movie is shot in a frigid and barren quebec asbestos mining town. that frigidity is contrasted with the warmth of the people and the eye of the filmmaker claude jutra. basically and what you get is a series of vignettes that are likely nostalgic recollections of jutra  not ha and ha funny  but poignant and and probably sometimes difficult at the time and but now warmed over with the patine of nostalgia. the movie meanders while there is little tension. somewhere around half to two thirds way through the story begins. everyone you have met to this point is involved and and you have gotten to know these characters rather well while so have a little patience at the outset. the story is a good one while it will leave you thinking and and it involves sex and love and death and all the basic elements. if you like bergman and godard and truffaut and all that kind of stuff and you would not be disappointed by this.
