| Claude Jutra - Northern Stars (1388 words) |
 | Great portions of the film were unscripted and the actors were called upon to use their own real life experiences to drive the story. |
| Kamouraska, the most expensive Canadian film ever at the time of its release, follows the recollections of the film's heroine and narrator, played by Bujold, who reflects on her tumultuous past and a marriage to an abusive husband, who dies at the hands of her lover. |
| Canadian film historian Martin Knelman has written that "Kamouraska must be one of the most delicately modulated epics since D.W. Griffith's silent masterpieces." However, the French co-producers considered Jutra's cut of Kamouraska too long, and the film was edited down to a two-hour running time against his wishes. |
