Seeing Miami...
Gilles Groulx / Canada / 1962 / Czech Premiere / 31 min.
synopsis
It’s no wonder the director claims to be inspired by the work of Jean Vigo. In this film, he artfully develops his own style – dialogic commentary, corpses, slowed-down scenes, and parallel montages. The result is an image of white and black society. The film was censored in Canada due to its scenes from Cuba and Fidel Castro giving a speech.
biography
Gilles Groulx (1931-1994) is still known today for his work with Michel Brault on the film Les raquetteurs (1958), which he also edited. In his subsequent works, he addressed the relationship between American and Québec culture.
