Poster image Tout le temps, tout le temps, tout le temps... ?

A Quebec family scattered across the big city reunites in the countryside, in Sainte-Théodosie, and discusses the importance of love, life-which-is-worth-being-lived, the need for freedom and society-which-is-badly-made.

Tout le temps, tout le temps, tout le temps…? is a collective creation shot on 16 mm that opens with a lively discussion about the use of scatological references in Quebecois language. The film strikes with the honesty of the statements made by its participants, all exuding truth. These are the people from the east end of Montreal, filmed by Dansereau and his team, who shape the content of the film. Coming from the working class, they take the opportunity to share their personal, social, and political concerns. One of the main protagonists, Polydor Chagnon, a drunkard with an extraordinary way of speaking and an unforgettable face, is a fascinating “character” who also made an appearance in Le mépris n’aura qu’un temps by Arthur Lamothe, released the same year.

 

In its second half, the film includes more clearly fictional elements, interspersed with short poetic sequences shot outdoors and accompanied sometimes by a song from Robert Charlebois, sometimes by the music of the Quatuor de jazz libre du Québec. Tout le temps, tout le temps, tout le temps…? is a little-known work, unique in its kind. It depicts the difficult reality of French-Canadian workers of the time—along with their unbreakable morale despite adversity—and the hope some of them had for an upcoming proletarian revolution.
