Honoré Blanchard, 85, earned his living cleaning up bodies for the mob and as a freshwater fisherman. He lives with his son Fernand, operator of a "gaz bar" in Coteau Rouge. Its prices are low, but mostly it has a large pétanque alley adjoining the Ekonogaz where the local association of pétanque players meets. Fernand has two children: Hélène and Henri. Hélène is married to an unscrupulous promoter, Éric Miljours, who wants to raze Coteau Rouge and turn it into an upscale development. Hélène is the only Blanchard not living in Coteau Rouge. Since she was unable to have children on her own, Micheline, her own mother, agreed to be a surrogate. Henri lives with Estelle. He borrowed $ 125,000 from his brother-in-law for Estelle to take experimental treatments in Mexico. They have a 15-year-old son, Alexis, who, fed up with the family's hard-up circumstances, has decided to start a company that offers environmental manual mowing. Éric is not welcome in Coteau Rouge as he has his sights set on a major project: a 128-storey condominium tower on Île aux fesses. The day he visits the future site with his wife, a monstrous sturgeon crashes into the hull of his boat and Éric and Hélène are thrown into the water. Eric is lost forever, but Hélène is saved by her prosthesis, which serves as a lifebuoy. It's harvest time. Micheline has finally given birth and Hélène is a mother at last. The atmosphere is festive. Micheline has concocted her famous recipe for rabbit with evaporated milk to relieve her mammary congestion because Fernand would rather play pétanque...

| User ReviewFrançois MForcier's best film in a very, very long time. |

| User ReviewBen GDeux ans après l'excellent JE ME SOUVIENS, l'enfant terrible du cinà (C)ma Quà (C)bà (C)cois, Andrà (C) Forcier revient avec une fable, cette fois-ci contemporaine, du nom de COTEAU ROUGE. Le film suit les multiples tribulations de quatre gà (C)nà (C)rations de la famille Blanchard (!) vivant dans le quartier qui le donne le nom du film. Le noyau central du film ce concentre sur le couple que forme Ãric et Hà (C)lène. La pà (C)dale du bonheur dans le plancher,notre couple chà (C)ri est en attente d'un enfant. Mais la nà (C)vrosà (C)e Hà (C)lène ne dà (C)sir pas ''scrapper'' son corps pour avoir un enfant. Elle lègue donc la tache ingrate de mère porteuse a sa mère. Pendant ce temps, son mari, agent immobilier, sème la pluie et le bon temps dans le quartier de Coteau Rouge avec ses projet d'infrastructure dà (C)naturant les origines du quartier. Nous sommes en terrain connu avec ce film qui possède la narration propre a Forcier. Il tient la route grace aux thèmes abordà (C) par Forcier, thèmes qui reprà (C)sente bien des valeurs propres a la belle Province. On y montre un quartier populaire qui dà (C)sire garder ses racines mais que l'argent pourrait facilement dà (C)truire ce dà (C)sir. On y montre aussi le rapport que les Quà (C)bà (C)cois on toujours entretenue avec l'argent, ainsi que l'esprit de communautà (C) de Coteau Rouge et celle d'une famille ''tissà (C) serrà (C)''. Les dialogues fondent en bouche et beaucoup de situation font bien rire. Le film est envahi d'une bonne humeur qui rà (C)chauffe le coeur. Au niveau interprà (C)tation: mention très honorable a Bianca Gervais, Cà (C)line Bonnier qui offre une prestation comique hors paire, Roy Dupuis est toujours aussi bon même si il est dans un contre emploi. Le reste de la distribution joue avec un naturel dà (C)sarmant. |
| User ReviewOlivier AJutra 2012. Longueur. Rà (C)alisation, montage, dialogue, jeu des acteurs à revoir. Dà (C)capant par moment, pour les amateurs du genre. |
