Kamouraska (film)

Kamouraska (film)

"Kamouraska", a 1973 film, was Claude Jutra's follow-up to his previous film, the highly acclaimed Mon Oncle Antoine. It was deemed too long by the producers, chopped down, and lambasted by critics. Jutra was forced into what he deemed exile in Toronto, working on TV movies for the CBC. To add insult to injury for the proud separatist, these films were in English. Kamouraska is a flawed film, but not so much so his career should have been destroyed by it. Richard Jordan and the ravishingly gorgeous Geneviève Bujold are standouts. The worst flaw is the limited time dedicated to their relationship. A classic of Quebecois literature, a remarkable accomplishment (up to that time the most expensive Canadian film), and worhty of note as the film that unjustly robbed the world of Claude Jutra's talents.
