Québec-Montréal

This low-budget road-movie tackles men-women relationships with humor, drama and a lot of dialogue, which the young, mostly unknown actors deliver marvelously. Interestingly enough, this story, which mostly takes place inside cars, is very entertaining, with many different views on it's subject (through all the main characters) and a sometimes thoughtful dramatic foundation which brings every thread of the story together wonderfully at the end, shaping the fragile balance between companionship and division with a song by Sinéad O'Connor: 'This Is The Last Day of Our Acquaintance'. Funny, original and more clever than it might first appear to be.

When I saw the poster of this film I thought: another stupid film. But I was completely wrong. Québec-Montréal has a brilliant script and a excellent editing.

The story takes us from Quebec city to Montreal in 4 different cars. Not much action but great dialogues. Young people between 25 and 30 years old talk about love, sex and respect. They sure have a hard time understanding the 3 subjects.

All the actors are terrific.

Don't miss that film.

I saw this movie on television the other night. I decided to tape it, because I expected great story, possibly a little nudity and all in all, an enjoyable experience. Boy, was I wrong!!!! This movie hasn't got any of it. The storyline is not linear, slow and not what you expected. People driving in cars, talking about life, some scenes of sex, and a very bad direction!!! My disappointment was so great that nothing could convince me to see it end. Why would somebody accept to play a part in this movie? I'm sorry, but the longer I think , no solid reason comes to mind. Absolutely unrecommendable for anything, let alone an afternoon pass time. Skip it if you can.

What a surprise to me. I go to the cinema in the hope of see Signs, but I was too late. So, I buy a ticket to see Québec-Montréal and... wow, a pretty interesting film. Made a low budget, like others canadian movies, we focus here on the characters and their relations between each others. It's funny, strange, but the last five minutes are, for me, a sad end. Make your own judgement.

Film improved later as the stories among the various cars unfolded. Still it was so trivial in the end. I liked the cinematography in some scenes but the faces were zoomed in too much.
