Description

Converted into seven languages, Kamouraska gained the London guide reward and was produced into a milestone feature-film by Claude Jutra. A vintage of Canadian literature from the excellent Québecoise author, Kamouraska is dependant on a genuine nineteenth-century love-pie in rural Quebec. It offers a frightening and graceful tableau of the life span of Elisabeth d'Aulnières: her relationship to Antoine Tassy, squire of Kamouraska; his chaotic homicide; and her enthusiasm for George Nelson, an American physician. Evocative and enthusiastic, Kamouraska may be the story of 1 girlis harmful dedication to a perfect love.
