His source material is the plethora of films produced by the National Film Board of Canada between the 1950s and 1970s. Each film has a distinct tone, even if the eras occasionally overlap. La m\u00e9moire des ange<\/em>s (The Memory of Angels<\/em>) showcases, in a way, the golden age of the NFB’s French studio, depicting Qu\u00e9bec’s metropolis, Montreal, in all its facets. It is a cinema of exploration, primarily in black and white, achieving the remarkable feat of bringing the city to life with breadth, in a kaleidoscope of films addressing a wide range of subjects. The art of composition and editing, and the resulting rhythm, are the key to this success.
\nThe Devil’s Share<\/em>, meanwhile, is a film that addresses the Quebecois “Years of Lead,” marked by the application of the federal War Measures Act in October 1970. Luc Bourdon skillfully recreates this era and its currents, beginning with the Qu\u00e9bec self-determination movement, but also broader social movements that reached their peak in the challenge to conservative forces. This distant era, however, confronts us with the new challenges of our time.<\/p>\n
