      Audience Member Asti de film de marde. La fois ou que Robert Morin a atteint mon seuil de tolà (C)rance solide. Un film sans subitilità (C) du dà (C)but a la fin. Le film commence avec un gros:''C'est film est une oeuvre de fiction toute ressemblance avec la rà (C)alità (C) serait fortuite.'' Mais c'est complètement faux. Le film prend un des à (C)là (C)ments les plus marquant de l'Histoire Quà (C)bà (C)coise durant les annà (C)es 90: la crise d'Oka et un des meilleurs accomplissant de la littà (C)rature: Au Coeur des Tà (C)nèbres de Joseph Conrad. L'oeuvre prend principalement c'est deux choses pour s'ancrer, il y a en d'autres mais toutes les citer serait trop long. Bien sur que si le film ne possède aucune subitilità (C), il ne possède pas une joute psychologique bien profonde ou tout les personnages du film, les mieux nantis aux plus pauvres de ce monde, sont regardà (C)s de haut et considà (C)rà (C) comme des trou de cul ou des crosseurs. La rà (C)alisation faux documentaire est nulle avec c'est image laide. La mise de flashbacks dans la narration est tout simplement inconhà (C)rente. Bref a l'image du film qu'il faut voir pour avoir un exemple de ce qui ne faut pas faire lorsqu'on fait du cinà (C)ma et surtout quand celui-ci est dit ''engagà (C)''. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
