Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Set in 1970, Lepage's offbeat blend of farce and socio-political satire cuts between Canada, where a none-too-together group of terrorists belonging to the Quebec Liberation Front squabble among themselves while under police surveillance, and Osaka, where one of the activists' girlfriends. is performing in a Feydeau play for the World Expo. So depressed at finding herself pregnant, she has a drunken fling with the Canadian cultural attaché, virtually under the snobby, suspicious nose of his wife. It's a cool, drily amusing, determinedly unromantic roundelay (based on a segment of Lepage's play The Seven Branches of the River Ota), which doesn't quite succeed as a comment on various kinds of commitment, but passes the time quite agreeably.Author: GA
