It's 17 years after Denys Arcand's "The Decline of the American Empire" and this is a continuing story of these characters. Leftist Rémy (Rémy Girard) is in an overcrowded Montreal hospital. His estranged capitalistic son Sébastien returns from London to manipulate Quebec's healthcare system. Rémy is joined by his friends and family as they renew their chemistry. A TV commentator refers 9/11 as maybe the beginning of the great barbarian invasions. Sébastien gets his father sent to an American hospital and finally back to the cottage.
It is a man in the twilight of his life having one final good times. Some say that your life flashes before your eyes. This is one long series of flashes. It is fun and unexpected. It is smart and feels like a good time with old friends. The old footage of pass goddesses is good for the cinephiles. There is also a sense of the changing world. I do like the older folks hanging out together more than the new younger additions. It's a great reunion.
