Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for spy-story fans and the curious. Nobody is quite who they seem.
The mood
Eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 12 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1955: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

Gilles Groulx's first film shot in 1955 with a camera borrowed from his brother and edited during his spare time when he worked as an editor at the Radio-Canada news service a few years before he joined the NFB. Silent film, presented as its author left it, where the soil and the dialectic of Groulx's work are already there: documentary realism, the social space to be explored, daily life, the relationship between individual and society, social disparities, the consumer society, seduction and happiness.
