Quote:
"[In Pierre Vallières] Vallières' political rhetoric becomes an oppressive language, another colonising force (one becomes aware that the voices of the women film-makers are barely audible on the soundtrack). The effect is to raise questions about what Vallières is saying, his mode of delivery and, by implication, his politics. In this tension between masculine political discourse and suppressed feminine discourse, [Joyce] Wieland produces an investigation of the role of language in colonialism that is as relevant today as when Pierre Vallières was made, more than a decade ago."
