video-club: Papa à la chasse aux lagopèdes by Robert Morin

The video-club evenings are presented by Vidéographe in collaboration with Cinéma Moderne.

Vidéographe invites cinephiles and curious audiences to a special evening of screening and discussion around Papa à la chasse aux lagopèdes by Robert Morin.
Made in 2008, this film by Robert Morin immerses us in the confession of a man on the run. Speaking directly to the camera, the character records a series of reflections that move between remorse, justification, and self-performance.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the audience in the presence of François Papineau, the film’s lead actor.

SYNOPSIS
Vincent Lemieux, a notoriously successful fraud artist wanted by police, goes ptarmigan hunting in the taiga of northern Québec as a pretext for skipping the country. Along the way, he shoots a video diary as a means of apologizing to his two young daughters for subjecting them to the ignominy of having a criminal for a father. A complex character, irreparably corrupt and very endearing, this corporate daddy can both coldly explain the machinations of an economic system founded on contempt and recount the painful experiences of his youth via the extraordinary adventures of the fictional “le p’tit Sicotte” (Li’l Frankie). Over the course of his confessions, Lemieux gets literally bogged down in a struggle that ends up somewhere between true repentance and a clean conscience.
