I got suckered.I first came across this film in a Globe & Mail summary of Canadian films in 97. The brief blurb sounded interesting.I think it was up for some awards. But,I couldnt find out more info. The film just dissapeared from the radar. MRQE, which is really thorough, doesnt list one review. I smelled a rat but decided to rent it.Its pretentious rubbish by & large. Too bad, because there are glimpses of humour. More could have been done with it. For non-francophones note there is no translation
