After all, when you think about it, in the 21rst century, there are still many Quebeckers who complain that there's no French soundtrack on English-language films and TV series that come out on DVD or Blu-ray discs.Anh Khoi Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018387547508527604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7638298281070675587.post-39330828000828850782009-08-08T12:01:38.980-07:002009-08-08T12:01:38.980-07:00I hadn't thought about it in terms of unilingu...I hadn't thought about it in terms of unilingualism, but you make a good point.

I'm not a fan of horror films, but it's rare that we see a film that can bring to the surface the characters' fear without the visual eloquence (or harassment) of mainstream films. Besides, I can't wait for the next Genie Awards since I enjoyed watching the cast's performance in this film.<br /><br />Finally, speaking about political analysis in this film, I wouldn't be surprised if some saw in this film a remark against unilingualism (the contrary of bilingualism) in the Canadian context.Anh Khoi Dohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15018387547508527604noreply@blogger.com
