for beauty's sake: mon oncle antoine


often cited as the greatest canadian film of all time, mon oncle antoine is a beautiful story of one boy's exploratory childhood, set against the stunning backdrop of 1940's rural quebec one fateful christmas eve. a charming coming-of-age tale, ...antoine is the masterful standout piece from acclaimed director claude jutra and a benchmark in canadian cinema, as evident by michel brault's stunning cinematography. replete with a unique, almost painterly quality, each scene evoking the feel of a vintage postcard, the film is abundant in rich tones and endless inspiration.
