i just saw this film, and it certainly deserved the accolades it received at cannes.the writing and acting are excellent, as we follow gerard/gerry, a barely dry journalist, hunt down the stories of those who died in the explosion that destroyed his apartment building. his alcoholism ups the tension as he tries to make meaning out of why someone like him survives the blast, while 'innocents' die. bernard emond has written a great film, and luc picard is especially terrific. the characters are great and overall, this film never even teeters near the edge of maudlin nor overblown drama -- it quietly and swiftly builds a film experience that feels authentic. this is rare in a music-video/cartoon-as-film world.as a bonus for those who know montreal, emond is particularly true to neighbourhood socio-demographics, values, and locations.i'm going to watch this one again, something i rarely do.
