Like the Ones I Used to Know

Like the Ones I Used to Know / Les Grandes Claques

Canada, 18′, 2021

age reccomendation: 12+

December 24, 1983, 10:50 p.m.; Julie and her cousins ate too much sugar, Santa Claus is late and Denis, alone in his car, is anxious at the idea of setting foot in his ex-in-law's house to pick up his children. Les grandes claques is an early coming-of-age coming-of-age that is as squeaky as it is poetic.

Annie St-Pierre

She was born in St-Pascal-de-Kamouraska and studied film at the Université du Quebec at Montreal.
