I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

This is not a great film, but it is very interesting historically and sociologically. It is an interesting slice of life 35 years ago during a very unsettling time in Quebec politics when separatism was very popular. Also it takes you back to the sexual revolution of the times, with Quebec questioning the catholic church and accepting the freedom of the times with gusto. The English/French conflict is dealt with in a stereotypical way but still the film reminds me a little of what it was like many years ago and reminds me of how things have changed for the better. For those of us that like Susan Sarandon this is an early work of hers, and probably one film she would like us not to discover! Find out why for yourself by watching!

Before the censors got a hold of it, this one was on late night Canadian TV a number of times. As Canadian late night pushed the bounds of nudity, this half-decent effort got a lot of airplay to help with the then fledgling Global network get its start.PLOT POINTS TO FOLLOW - WARNINGMind you, there wasn't a lot of nudity in this film. Moreover, the story is a good one. A French Canadian young man without a direction lives a life of crime with his girlfriend's brother. On a temporary job on a commercial shoot, he meets a beautiful young English Canadian woman (Susan Sarandon in a very early role) and they enter into a relationship. He tries to break it off with his old girlfriend, but she won't let him go. When he then tries to turn away his new girlfriend, he can't bring himself to do it. There is a tragic end to this love triangle as his life finally catches up to him. Don't expect a happy ending. Come to think of it, this is one of the few films in Canada to explore the difficulty of being a French Canadian from a political and economic standpoint, but how we all wind up getting along in the end.
