Those were the days...

It's a film about a French speaking musical band, CANO, from English speaking province of Ontario, in Canada. These eleven young people live together put everything in common. On stage, they look like that. No leader, everyone's sing, no stars. More 20 years later, it sounds very hippîe! They all look like hippies! I remember seeing them live in 1977. I was listening to their three albums all the time. But today, it sounds very very old... CANO produced a strange mixture of folk and progressive music. They have a beautiful and talented female singer, by the name of Rachel Paiement. It's a shame for Canadian music that she disappears

with the hippie dream of CANO. This film captures the problems of the band, with administration, with the idea of putting all things together. It's a bit long. Live shots are very good. One thing strange about this film is that CANO sings in French, are part of a French minority in an English canadien province, but here, they all speak English while not on the stage! This film is a like an old photography : we look at it with smiles of nostalgia. And how much hairs all these people have !
