| Summary |
"This collection of scholarly essays on contemporary Québécois cinema centres on an image of shared suffering that unites the nation through a search for home. Since the defeat of the pro-sovereigntists in the 1995 Quebec referendum, the loss of a nationalistic vision in the province has led many Québécois to use their ancestral origins to inject meaning into their everyday lives. These essays argue that this phenomenon is observable in Quebec cinema, in which nostalgia denotes a longing for the pleasures of bygone French-Canadian traditions and that underscores the pain associated with the longing for a return home."-- Provided by publisher |
