What Babine Is About

Babine, the son of the woman the village calls a witch, is cast out by everyone from the moment he is born; the village lays every misfortune at his door and, as he grows, he stays at the top of the list of people to blame. When he goes out into the world he passes through a series of events in which he escapes death by a hair, and it becomes clear how arbitrary the role the village assigned him always was. In Luc Picard’s hundred and twelve minute Canadian film, Antoine Bertrand plays Babine and Marie Brassard his mother, with René Richard Cyr and Alexis Martin in the cast. It was completed in 2008 and builds a story about a scapegoat in the language of a folk tale.
