Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film contains non-simulated sexual acts (vaginal penetration, fellatio and ejaculation) between the two main actors, Carole Laure and Lewis Furey. It is a fact that at the beginning of filming Laure was director Gilles Carle's girlfriend. In Carle's previous film, Normande (1975), Laure had a very explicit (probably simulated for its most part) sex scene with her costar Raymond Cloutier but in this film the director wanted there to be no doubt that his girlfriend had actually been penetrated in front of camera by Furey, in honor of art. In Carle's intentions, the sex act between Laure and Furey (who the director thought was gay) was supposed to remain a one-off, but in fact the two actors fell in love during filming, moved in together and later married.
Featured review
French Canadian
A woman (Carole Laure) is shot dead in the snow. Angel Gabrielle (Lewis Furey) rescues her and breathes new life into her. She has no memories. This is a surreal French Canadian film. It's black and white, and almost experimental. It's a throwback and has many comparisons to the silent era. The dialogue is stilted. Laure and Furey are real life husband and wife. The chemistry is not necessarily explosive but rather familial. One wonders whether it becomes voyeurism into their bedroom. Despite the nudity, the greatest passion seems to be musical. It's a two person experimental play. It doesn't have much drive and it probably has more value as their personal home video.
