Vault Note

From the vault: Quebecois cinema that looks back—and looks hard—at the act of looking.

Programmer's Pick

Jean Pierre Lefebvre throws out the rulebook and delivers a French-language satire that pokes fun at both sexuality in showbiz and the act of watching itself. Anne Lauriault’s Q-Bec navigates a trio of lovers with the kind of cool detachment that only a true send-up can manage. For those who prefer their cinema unfiltered and boundary-testing, this is pure Quebecois counterculture.
