Description
 
This collection contains two critically-acclaimed films from Quebec that reflect the unique culture and worldview of the region. With Congorama (Canada/Belgium/France, 2006, 105 mins.), director Philippe Falardeau toys with coincidence, contrivance, and near-mystical encounters in this comic drama with as many twists of fate as there are twists of plot. When Michel (Olivier Gourmet), a failed Belgian inventor, discovers he was adopted, he sets off to find his birth parents in Canada. There he encounters Louis (Paul Ahmarani), a kindred spirit who has much in common with Michel. Then in Andre  Forcier's A Wind from Wyoming (Canada, 1994, 100 mins.), Lea is dumped by her boxer boyfriend on the eve of her 18th birthday, her mother has just run off with her sweetheart, and her obese sister is obsessing over some celebrated author. So Lea enlists the help of a hack hypnotist to try to get her dysfunctional family back on track. In French with English subtitles.  Philippe Falardeau/Andre Forcier---Canada/Belgium/France---2006/1994---205 mins.
