October 12, 2006I had to study this at University. The only thing I remember is someone pissing blood and a bus full of old people going on journey as a metaphor for dying. Utter shite!

July 20, 2006Most certainly the best French-Canadian director, fascinating work on the modern history of North America and the existential distress that some of us feel toward it.
