Quote:
"Directors like Anne Claire Poirier have refined and expanded the documentary mode in a way that might satisfy its severest critics. Her Mourir à tue-tête, distributed on commercial circuits in 1979, combines an apparently realistic fictional narrative with documentary sequences, a mixture that has become an important technique of feminist film."
-- Mary Jean Green
