Description: "With the international critical and commercial successes of Le Declin de l'empire americain (The Decline of the American Empire, 1986) and Jesus de Montreal (Jesus of Montreal, 1989) Denys Arcand has risen to the forefront of Canadian filmmaking. These films brought wider recognition to a director whose career spans 30 years and who has played a pivotal role in the development of our perception of French-Canadian cinema ... The book provides a series of insightful critical essays on Arcand's films, together with an interview, filmography and bibliography. The contributions explore aspects of the director's work, including his position within the history of Quebec cinema, his use of sound and music, the critical reception of his films in the United States, and an extensive analysis of his two major features."--Page 4 of cover.
