Quote:
"Made during the peak of cinematic feminism, when so much theory addressed itself to the disempowering effects of the male gaze upon the woman, Lanctôt creates Armand (Jocelyn Bérubé), a timid character from Gaspésie, whose shy glances are insubstantial when compared with the flirtatious looks that the women in the film bestow upon him."
