With Mémoires affectives, Francis Leclerc imposed himself as a new voice in Quebecois cinema. While the quiet metaphysical drama was far from being perfect, it was audacious and original, bringing a much needed breath of fresh air in the monotony of the local production.
For his second feature, Leclerc embraces a popular subgenre, the baseball movie, and follow all its basic rules. The result is a charming little film that has all the right elements, but simply doesn’t stand as anything new. A letdown ? More or less.
