La Dame aux Camélias, la vraie
1
The film was produced and directed by Gratien Gélinas, who also plays the lead role of Fridolin, and who also wrote the screenplay. It is of course a parody of the novel by Alexandre Dumas fils, La dame aux camélias . As the press noted in 1942: “…the work is a real revenge of Quebec popular culture on French classical culture” or even “ Fridolin sticks his tongue out at France!”. The film is like a bomb. We must not forget that at the time of the premiere, Gratien Gélinas was one of the most influential authors in the province. His plays were performed in French in Quebec, and in English across Canada.

1987. À Woonsocket, Jean-Baptiste Lambert se souvient de la saga et des luttes des 600 000 émigrés canadiens-français devenus autant d'Américains. «Avec Les Tisserands du pouvoir, Claude Fournier a plongé dans la grande aventure. Une coproduction de plus de sept millions de dollars avec la France et une distribution imposante qui nous permet de voir défiler sur l'écran presque toutes les têtes connues du cinéma québécois, en plus d'une bonne brochette d'acteurs français.»
