This ambitious French-language retelling of the 1837 Quebec rebellion against British rule caused a lot of controversy in Canada when it first came out, as it depicts the English as unreasonable oppressors who (among other things) desecrated a Catholic church during the fighting. The story centers around a man who is trying to keep clear of the fighting; though he has cause to dislike the British, he avoids joining the rebels. During his flight to the border, however, the effects of the conflict reach him again and again. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

A Quebecois architect at work on an assignment in Israel has a problem for which he seeks the services of a lissome psychoanalyst. It seems that he cannot resist the urge to make love to all the women he meets. Curiously, he does wind up bedding a large proportion of these women. This Canadian/Israeli film collaboration, with dialogue in French, can be considered "soft" pornography, as it almost exclusively focuses on (and depicts) sexual situations and encounters. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
