... maybe the first half
Decidedly NOT among the greatest Canadian films ever made, nor among the best films to come out of Quebec.
I was anticipating a true foreign film classic, because it was voted as the #1 Canadian film of all time. Instead I was treated to a modest average film of a depressing Christmas in a small Quebec town. It had its good and bad moments, but I was most dissapointed at the very imcomplete ending. I was expecting more of a plot to follow FYI:If you want to see a true film about innocence, Watch "Fanny and Alexander"
A very nice, quiet coming-of-age film. Something like the Quebecois companion to Murmur of the Heart.
