A true animated film about invented islands. About a physical, imaginary, linguistic, political territory. About a real or dreamed country, or something in between. Archipelago is a feature film made of drawings and speeches, that tells and dreams a place and its inhabitants, to tell and dream a little of our world and times.

Wendy Ide

Screen International

Through a lyrical, mainly animated journey along the Saint Lawrence river, this beguiling but nebulous film taps into the soul of a home land.

The components are abstract, fragments of larger vignettes maybe, that feel like they were disassembled, jumbled, and then spread out at random.

Rated: 2.5/5

By exploring the vast terrain and mythology of Quebec, Archipelago delivers a forceful assertion of existence.

Archipel's stream-of-consciousness narrative can be almost cryptic at times, but it is a enriching experience to watch.

A constantly surprising and fascinating work that celebrates the spirit of Quebec while acknowledging its past mistakes as it tries to make amends for the future.
