Review of Underground

I knew little about this film in advance, and it's the only film from Quebec I've ever seen, but I was absolutely blown away by how outstanding it was - the maturity and grace of the storytelling, the wonderful performances, the intricacy of the direction. Dupuis understands men like no-one else - I've rarely seen such a dignified and authentic portrayal of male peer relationships outside of a documentary. One of my absolute favourite films of the year.
