    holds in suspense - du bon film québécois

    This is far to be the most refined movie I've seen but it's pretty well done , by times very moving , its a small film that makes the job . This movie is worth to see a lot more than many big productions . The ending is one hell of an intense scene . The plot is simply about some friends who go hunt , the actors performance is superb , and its a great study on man returning to nature , with some tragic events . 8/10

    Realism

    A film of too few, it depicts a father-son relationship unique to french-canada and is shot in such visual poetry by one of the world's greatest cinematographer Michel Brault (A Cannes winner). Sadly this film is not distributed at all and I don't know about it's English translation. What it features though is some of the most realistic pieces of acting I have ever seen. There is little composition, the acting relying is mostly on heart-wrenching drunkeness.

    Every time I see it, it leaves me with that dark, complex Kurosawa flavor. It's only equal in Canadian cinema has to be Les Bons Débarras by the same director. A northern ONF/NFB chef-d'oeuvres
