A traveling entertainer falls prey to a disturbed recluse in director Fabrice Du Welz's twisted, slow-burn riff on Deliverance and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Having finished his latest performance at a remote retirement home, wandering singer Marc Stevens (Laurent Lucas) packs his gear into his van and sets out towards his next gig. Unfortunately for Marc, the fog-shrouded roads of rural France are more treacherous than he ever anticipated. When his van breaks down in the middle of the night and a skittish local promises to lead him to a nearby inn owned by the eccentric recluse Paul Bartel (Jackie Berroyer), it appears that luck may be on Marc's side and he will be back on the road with the light of the morning sun. This isn't your average bed and breakfast, though, and Bartel certainly isn't the kindly innkeeper he initially appears to be. When Marc's van is set aflame and his increasingly menacing host makes a most disturbing claim, the soft-spoken singer will be forced to fight for his life against not only Bartel, but an entire village of deeply disturbed woodsmen. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

This Quebecois Canadian comedy builds on the confusion and mayhem that are unleashed when Sam, who is cursed by having an overly active and imaginative brother-in-law, tells a lie about why he was late coming in to his bank-teller job. One thing leads to another, and eventually even the high and mighty of Montreal find themselves affected by the proliferating confusion and chaos. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide

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
