Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A pivotal member of Quebec\u2019s first wave of internationally acclaimed filmmakers, Claude Jutra rose to international acclaim with Mon oncle Antoine<\/strong> (1971) after making several shorts at the NFB during the 1950s and 1960s, and yet the quirks of the Canadian film industry \u2013 poor financing and distribution \u2013 and the temperaments of fickle critics arguably stymied what should\u2019ve been a prolific career, and when faced with a declining mental state due to Alzheimer\u2019s, he committed suicide in 1986.<\/span><\/p>\n

Most affecting are his eerie reflections on the disease that was destroying his ability to remember and recognize, but Marie-Josee St-Pierre\u2019s film also chronicles Jutra\u2019s entry into filmmaking after an early career in medicine, his work with Norman McLaren, and his short and feature films using Jutra’s own words via images and sounds rotoscoped, edited, and layered into animated backgrounds.\u00a0It\u2019s an amazing process that resurrects Jutra\u2019s ghost, but what emerges from his tragic death is his sense of humour, and the incredible energy from his work which, after seeing St-Pierre\u2019s film, should be explored anew.<\/p>\n
