Mon oncle Antoine (1971)
A pan for Mon Oncle Antoine

I have seen this movie many times and have never found it to be particularly entertaining. It has always been of interest to me because I was born and raised in Black Lake, the asbestos mining town that is the setting for the movie. It's always engaging to see part of one's past brought to life on the screen, but it isn't nearly enough to praise this film. I found the story line to be disjointed and fleetingly related to the facts of life in that community. Yes it does depict the long slow winters of Quebec rural life, but when you apply the long and slow to a movie it kills it for me. The last third of the movie is particularly painful. That set piece just drags on forever. And in my opinion kills the movie.
