Quebec Cinema: Coincidence

Mond Dept: "Oh, so you're talking about Mar cages, Rom o Onze, Laurentie and Le vendeur?" asked Anne mond, director of Nuit #1, putting her finger on it before I had a chance to explain the premise of our interview, earlier this week, according to Montreal Gazette. They may not have a mandate, or even have compared notes mond hadn't had a chance to see any of the films she mentioned , but somehow this new batch of directors is making movies where slow pacing, matter-offact sex and alienation are on the agenda. And they're getting noticed for their efforts and one would have been interesting. Two, a coincidence. Three, curious. Four, wait a minute. But with five writer-directors emerging with audacious first features that have intriguing traits in common, one can safely say we are witnessing a new wave of Quebec cinema. Bingo.
