Quote:
"What is exceptional about this short film [Desperanto, Patricia Rozema's contribution to Montréal vu par...] is that in addition to examining the linguistic and cultural differences that divide Canada, Rozema analyzes the presentation of these differences (through speech and gesture) in the media."
