Little of Jutra\u2019s work is on DVD, but the NFB\u2019s website contains several of his short and feature-length work. (Hint: checking both English and French language criteria in a search will yield more titles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nfb.ca\/search?q=claude+jutra&amp;language=en&amp;language=fr\" target=\"_blank\">NFB\u2019s online catalogue of viewable \/ buyable titles<\/a>, of which you can expect to see a few reviews here in the coming months.)<\/p>\n<p>Japan\u2019s love hotels \u2013 places where singles and couples can engage in guilt-free fantasies, whoopee, or just cuddle \u2013 are explored in <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/?p=8651\">Love Hotel<\/a><\/strong> (2014), apparently legit venues under threat from a more conservative government wanting to curtail terrible things like dancing after midnight and mirrors on the ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>Next is <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/?p=8655\">The Nose \u2013 Searching for Blamage The \/ The Nose \u2013 Zoeken naar Blamage<\/a><\/strong> (2013), a zippy and beautifully photographed short doc about perfume creator Alessandro Gualtieri and his quest to find his third perfect scent for his next perfume. From Holland to India, Dubai and Italy, this is a gorgeous little film that\u2019s equally funny.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, there\u2019s <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/?p=8648\">Pipeline \/ Truba <\/a><\/strong>(2013), a Russian production in which the 4500 kilometers of Siberia\u2019s Urengoy-Pomary-Uzhgorod natural gas pipeline are seen via short stays with eccentric locals in towns and cities that flow from Russia to Germany. At 2 hours, it\u2019s among the longest films at Hot Docs, but worth it if you appreciate striking images, a pacing where the camera hovers, sits and observes, and some truly oddball characters, including bad tuba playing and a veterinarian demonstrating the extraordinary dimensions that lie inside a humble bovine.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HotDocs2014_Adv_Rev_Set_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-8679\" alt=\"HotDocs2014_Adv_Rev_Set_3\" src=\"http:\/\/kqek.com\/mobile\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/HotDocs2014_Adv_Rev_Set_3-300x106.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"106\" \/><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Coming next<\/em>: a review of Ryan Darst\u2019s \u2018roguemantic\u2019 feature film\u00a0<strong>Dreamworld<\/strong>\u00a0(2012), new on Blu from Sneak Attack \/ CAV.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mark R.
