What February 15, 1839 Is About

After the 1837 rebellion was crushed, eight hundred Patriotes were held in the Montreal prison and about a hundred of them were under sentence of death. On the morning of 14 February 1839, Chevalier de Lorimier and Charles Hindelang learn that they and three companions will hang the following day. Pierre Falardeau wrote and directed, and he stays inside those twenty four hours: the talk in the cells, the wills entrusted to friends, the last visits from wives and relatives. At dawn the five walk to the scaffold. Set at the Pied-du-Courant prison, the film drew around a hundred and seventy thousand admissions in Quebec, an unusual figure for an art film with no commercial calculation behind it. Luc Picard plays Lorimier.
