While no trailer of the third season of La galère has been released online, Radio-Canada, a French Canadian TV network, did release the promo poster for the show. Moreover, the third season of this comedy series created by Renée-Claude Brazeau will premiere on September 20 at 9 Pm.
In La galère, we follow four women - Stéphanie (Hélène Florent), Mimi (Brigitte Lafleur), Claude (Anne Casabonne) and Isabelle (Geneviève Rochette) - who move into a big house with their seven children. Each of these women want to take a break from their respective husband or boyfriend (or three ex-husbands in the case of Stephanie).
While Radio-Canada hasn't revealed any details about the third season's script, here's what we should remember from the second season:
* Isabelle divorced from her husband, Jacques (Jeff Boudreault). Since Jacques is Quebec's Labour minister, Isabelle intends to compete as an independent candidate against Jacques in the same riding during the upcoming provincial election.

Film review: 'Not Me'
Yet another in a seemingly endless series of dark coming-of-age films from French Canada, "Not Me" ranks far below the cream of the crop.
It's a wildly pretentious and numbingly tedious portrait of a boy who's determined, after witnessing his parents partaking in some mildly kinky sex play, to remain a child forever. This first feature by Pierre Gang has inexplicably been chosen by Canada as its best bet for a best foreign-language film Oscar nod.
Screened recently at the Nortel Palm Springs International Film Festival, the picture is set in Quebec, circa 1967, coinciding with Montreal's Expo and Canada's centennial. It is seen through the eyes of young Rene (Richard Moffatt), a somewhat strange, ultra-serious 11-year-old who is permanently traumatized after confusing his parent's carnal interlude for an act of violence. Of course, it doesn't help matters when his dad is discovered the next morning lying dead in bed of an apparent heart attack.
Equating sex with death, Rene refuses to grow up, remaining a pre-adolescent as the rest of his family matures and his waitress mother (Louise Portal) goes through several different hair colors. When she hooks up with a new boyfriend, the swaggering Roch (Patrice Godin), the possessive Rene begins to drop hints that his mother should put Roch out of the picture in the same manner he believes she took care of his drunken father.
Ultimately, and remarkably without therapy, Rene gets over his little hang-up, and, armed with the knowledge that sex can be a beautiful thing, he relinquishes childhood and embraces manhood a mere nine years off schedule.
While Gang's script and direction is as pompous as the synopsis would imply, his cast, particularly newcomer Moffatt and veteran Quebec film star Portal, is faultless, delivering grounded, committed performances.
Impressive also are the technical contributions, beginning with the usual fine cinematography from frequent Altman collaborator Pierre Mignot and backed by terrific period touches from art director Francois Laplante ("Le Confessional") and costume designer Suzanne Harel ("Joshua Then and Now") who lend the late 1960s setting a remarkable palpability.
It's a shame their fine work couldn't have been attached to a better film.
