1980 film by Gilles Carle

In an era of political correctness, identity evolution, protests, cultural scandals, activism, media storms, and other disputes, Jean-Michel, a 70-year-old single man, has lost all his bearings in this society. He lives in a retirement home located in a heritage building, managed with care and precision by Suzanne. Their peace is shaken by the arrival of young activists who demand the destruction of a historic fresco. Overwhelmed by an era dominated by political correctness, Jean-Michel will regain faith in humanity with the birth of an unexpected love.

In this belated sequel to 'The Decline of the American Empire', middle-aged Montreal college professor, Remy, learns that he is dying of liver cancer. His ex-wife, Louise, asks their estranged son, Sebastian, a successful businessman living in London, to come home. Sebastian makes the impossible happen, using his contacts and disrupting the Canadian healthcare system in every way possible to help his father fight his terminal illness to the bitter end, while reuniting some of Remy's old friends, including Pierre, Alain, Dominique, Diane, and Claude, who return to see their friend before he passes on.

Primarily known for his television work (District 31, Fourchette, and recently Virage), Quebec filmmaker Catherine Therrien gives us her first feature film. In her eyes, UNE RÉVISION is a tribute to the world of education, and to those teachers who can change a life. A fundamental drama on the importance of communication, that militates admirably in favour of more listening and dialogue in the public sphere while standing up against one-way thought. For the filmmaker, who called upon several up and coming actresses- Nour Belkhiria and Rose-Marie Perreault at the head of the line -the story is above all the bearer of a strong message directed at youth: never stop asking yourself questions. A polished first film, particularly carried by deep and subtle dialogues. Of note are the equally exceptional performances of Patrice Robitaille, Anne-Élisabeth Bossé and Pierre Curzi.
