First sentence: With the unexpected triumph of Le Declin de l'empire americain (The Decline of the American Empire) at the Cannes Film Festival in 1986, and the international success of Jesus de Montreal (Jesus of Montreal) three years later, Denys Arcand has risen from relative obscurity outside Quebec to the rank of Canada's most widely acclaimed filmmaker - with the possible exception of David Cronenberg.
