I recently came upon this film and recognized the director Denys Arcand's name from the highly praised but controversial Jesus of Montreal, a movie about a modern telling of the Passion Play.
This was made fourteen years earlier by Arcand and it is much different from his later work.
A stripper named Gina is working at a club while at the same time a film crew is making a documentary about a labor dispute at a textile factory.
I am aware of our union struggle here in the United States but I know very little of a similar history of our neighbors to the north.
Some of the story uses black and white imagery during interviews with the textile workers and the style reminded me of John Sayles work in Matewan, another excellent film.
Gina is an unexpected little gem.
