Gilles Groulx (1931-1994), figure marquante du cinéma québécois, était hostile à toute forme de compromissions. Du Chat dans le sac (1964) à Au pays de Zom (1982) en passant par 24 heures ou plus (1972), il a produit une œuvre cinématographique d'une grande exigence stylistique et thématique. Le cinéma de Groulx — loin d'apparaître comme un simple phénomène de mode — reste indéniablement d'actualité.

Cynique, Billy Wilder ? On a coutume de le dire. Et grossier, voire vulgaire. Son cinéma est lourd, certes, mais d'une lourdeur littérale. Auteur de quelques-unes des comédies parmi les plus drles de l'histoire, émule de Lubitsch, il est, par excellence, le cinéaste de la gravité.
La force du terrestre et la pesanteur sont au cœur de ses films. Les mouvements et les discours, le rire et la politique, tout est affaire de poids dans Certains...

Within the insular walls of a lavish, decaying embassy in 1930's India, the French ambassador's wife staves off ennui through affairs with multiple men- with the overpowering torpor broken only by a startling eruption of madness. Setting her evocatively decadent visuals to a desynchronized chorus of disembodied voices that comment on and counterpoint the action, Duras creates a haunted-house movie unlike any other.
