Arabian Nights 2000 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181199
Watch the trailer for it if you can http://videodetective.com/home.asp?PublishedID=810034
I think this is just about the best tv movie I've ever seen. I'm glad to have the dvd of it.

C.R.A.Z.Y. 8.5/10
It's a 2005 Quebec film about family, sexuality, religion, and the conflicts between the three whenever they converge. As a film it is beautifully shot, thematically rich, and emotionally involving. Being about brothers, it reminded me more than once of A River Runs Through It, and I noticed references to A Clockwork Orange and Citizen Kane in there too. (The referential nature, as well as the generic diversity are reminiscient of Cohen Bros films like The Man Who Wasn't There, but this is no film noir.) Top it off with a soundtrack consisting largely of Pink Floyd, David Bowie, and Patsy Cline, and you have a real winner on your hands.

Thanks for the recommendation. That sounds like it has potential. There is a lot of great film that comes out of Quebec. Much more so than the rest of Canada.sliver wrote:C.R.A.Z.Y. 8.5/10

Off the top of my head a few Quebec films I'd suggest,
Night Zoo
Jesus of Montreal
