O.K… Laliberté is a good yet light-weight example of the expertise developed by the french connection of the 70's ONF. At times this movie verge on the whimsical but is always saved by the quality of the performances ( the chemistry between Godin and Guilbeault is great ). Also, there's no doubt in my mind that the meticulous work of veteran soundmand C. Hazanavicius is what really gives the movie a great realistic tone ( coz at times the dialogs that are scripted ( not the improv ones, of course ) felted a bit artificial to me ). But the main flaw of the movie comes at the end : when you've fully accepted that there won't be any action ( except skunk hunting maybe ! ), or any sort of climatic scene in this one and just enjoys it for the rightful depiction of everyday life the director than tries to compensate all that by going with something a little more risqué. It just basically feels false and a big misstep. Still, as a whole, the movie is enjoyable : the camping scenes are funny and touching ( Angele Coutu had a great rack ! ) and the party in the car makes you feel like you are right there with them ( Lapointe has great pot-smoking technique ! ). Sadly, as the movie don't come with English subtitles, that 1973 movie surely won't get any kind of revival outside Québec ( the whole point of reviewing this movie in the English language is just that ). And even here that kind of movie aren't made anymore. A bit shameful I think…
