In 1971 Carle joined forces with Pierre Lamy to form Les Productions Carle- Lamy, which produced Claude Jutra ’s epic" Kamouraska", Denys Arcand ’s early features and all his early films. The quirkily paced, proto-feminist" La Vraie Nature de Bernadette" – widely regarded as his best film – and" Le Mort d ’un bûcheron" eventually led to the more mainstream but graceful" Les Plouffe" and the epic love story" Maria Chapdelaine", both classics of Quebec cinema.
