Pudding chômeur

Directed by Gilles Carle

With Chloé Sainte-Marie, Louis-Philippe Davignon-Daigneault, France Arbour, Martine Deslauriers and Michel Charette

Deliberately Felliniesque, this surreal and uneven Canadian satire from iconoclastic French Canadian director Gilles Carle offers an episodic look into an anarchistic, metaphorical world filled with a bizarre assortment of weirdos, wackos and misanthropes. The story roughly centers on the adventures of Yo-Yo, a young woman who is first seen acting as a high priestess for a ceremony involving the miraculous healing powers of the little boy Alphonse.
