#213: Route 132 , Movies recommended or seen lately... les films a voir

Genre: Comedie/Comedy

Annee/Year: 2010

Country: CAN(Quebec)

Format: DVD

Route 132. Un film québécois du réalisateur Louis Bélanger (Neuf films à son actif dont Gas bar blues) de budget restreint mais avec un contenu important. Francois Papineau y joue le rôle d`un homme ordinaire de Montréal, Gilles, qui refuse d`accepter la mort de son très jeune fils. Il se sauve en dehors de Montréal avec un vieil ami d`enfance, Bob, qu`il rencontre dans un bar en se soulant la gueule. Il s`ensuit une suite rockambolesque d`histoires pendant que nos deux comparses sombres dans les petits vols et essaient de remonter la route 132 le long du fleuve St-Laurent. Inconsciemment nos deux comparses remonte au sources pour rencontrer les tantes et grand-mère qui ont faconné la jeunesse de Gilles. Après avoir sombrer au fond du baril et ètant capturé par la police il réussi enfin a faire la paix avec lui même, pendant que son copain Bob se case les pieds auprès d`une jolie fille du bas du fleuve.

Un film au budget restreint mais qui inclus plusieurs acteurs québécois connus tel André Lachapelle, Sophie Bourgeois, Gilles Renaud, Jannine Sutto, Clémence Desrochers et Roger Léger. Ce film nous raconte l`intense douleur que plusieurs hommes portent avec eux (Guerre, perte d`enfant, non réussite dans la vie...); plus spécifiquement celle de la génération 40-60 ans et se sujet mérite sa place. Donc film tragique et intense à la fois mais bon pour les amateurs de bons films du Québec.

Route 132. A solid movie from Québec by director Louis Bélanger (9 movies including Gas bar blues). This is a film about the tragedy carried by middle age men in their hearts. Whether through loss of a child, war or being a looser to society. We follow the tale Gilles a man who has lost is only young son and refuses to accept this fate. His runs away from the funeral and leaves Montreal altogether with a buddy of his met in a bar. Both men travel along the beautiful shore of the St-Lawrence river unconsciously towards the land of their youth. Living of petty theft and small crimes; Gilles meets many of his aunts and grandma along the way which allows him to start his healing process. A beautiful scene is when the cousin of Gilles shows him a funeral build he and his war time friends have built to help them heal form the pain of seing children die in Kosovo. Evnetually reaching the bottom of the barrel and being searched by police Gilles comes to term with his grief to restart his life. A harsh but intense movie of low budget but tellign a tale which truly has it`s place: the grief of 40-60 yrs old men.
