Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Tailor-made for people who love a true story told well. Set in the 1960s, and it looks the part.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 27 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1962: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
This short film is a series of vignettes of life in Saint-Henri, a Montreal working-class district, on the first day of school. From dawn to midnight, we take in the neighbourhood’s pulse: a mother fussing over children, a father's enforced idleness, teenage boys clowning, young lovers dallying - the unposed quality of daily life.
