 Claude Jutra
Although Claude Jutra has been widely acclaimed, there has been surprisingly little critical literature about his work.
Jutra's films are shown to reflect the instability of their cinematic and cultural contexts and raise important questions about nationhood.
Jutra always identified himself as a separatist and his films were shaped by the rapid changes in Quebec society during the Quiet Revolution and by the political tensions of the sixties and seventies.

 Robert Fulford's column about Claude Jutra
Claude Jutra, probably the most talented of all Canadian film directors, wasted much of his energy and spirit in a failed attempt to satisfy the demands of Quebec nationalism.
In Jutra's circle it was considered eccentric or craven to think otherwise, though holding this view required writing off the evidence of history.
But he seems not to have bothered interviewing anyone who could have testified to Jutra's life; this may be one reason why there's little about his sense of humour, a crucial aspect of his personality and his work.

The experience culminates with his journey into the wilderness-a boy of his age has died, and as Benoit accompanies his uncle to collect the body, he is forced to come to terms with death, disaster and betrayal.
Claude Jutra (1930-1987) was born into a Montreal family of physicians.
The reason, according to Jutra, as told to Martin Knelman, was based on differences between Quebec cinema and English-Canadian: "We are intent on asserting there are two cultures.

Together with fellow Canadian Norman McLaren, Jutra became one of the foremost avant-garde moviemakers in his native land (both he and McLaren are amply represented in the 1963 compilation film Seven Surprizes).

In November of 1986, Claude Jutra wandered away from his home, never to return; four months later, his body was found floating in the St. Lawrence River.

 Eye - On Screen - 01.15.98
Claude Jutra's 1971 film Mon Oncle Antoine is widely heralded as the best Canadian film ever made.
Set during Christmas, the movie focuses on a young boy, Benoit, as he works in his uncle Antoine's store, flirts with a young girl and quietly observes the grown-ups around him.
The late Jutra created an effortless sense of mood and place, and the acting is so subtle and naturalistic as to be invisible -- produced by the NFB, the film is often referred to as documentary-like in style.

 dOc DVD Review: Mon Oncle Antoine (1971) - Printable
Growing up in Canada, a staple of our culture is the National Film Board's presence in the creation of Canadian film presentations, which often portrayed lifestyles unfamiliar to me, though painting somewhat romantic images against a backdrop of the harsh reality of life in some remote regions of this country.
Produced with help from the NFB and twice voted the best Canadian film, director/actor/writer Claude Jutra's masterwork, Mon Oncle Antoine, tells the coming of age story of a young boy in a small Quebec mining town during the 1940s.
Jos Poulon (Lionel Villeneuve), father of five, is fed up with his job at the asbestos mine, and decides to abandon his family to go work in the lumber camp for the winter, leaving his wife (Hélène Loiselle) and eldest son to run their small farm and attend to the children.

Jutra traces the vast personal and political fissures about to tear open the rural Catholic heartland in Quebec.
The film’s episodic narrative structure and inspired use of landscape make this portrait of a sad, wintry town at the end of innocence unforgettable.
There were complaints about a muddled script and confusing point of view, and Jutra's failure to pay more than passing atten­tion to the social context.

Defending a different approach to cinema, from then on Brault was part of a new documentary process that was equally technically innovative and artistically innovative.
He worked on several films that have become classics; for instance, La lutte (1961), which he photographed, edited and co-directed with Claude Fournier, Claude Jutra and Marcel Carrière; Golden Gloves (1961), directed by Gilles Groulx; and Québec USA ou l'invasion pacifique (1961), also co-directed with Jutra.
Brault, who was active in feature length fiction since his collaboration with Claude Jutra on À tout prendre (1963), slowly gave up his documentary practice.

Dreamspeaker was one of several TV movie projects directed by Claude Jutra after his first flush of success with Mon Oncle Antoine (1971).
It would be nice to relate that the central character's self-discovery was reflected in Jutra's own life.
Unfortunately, at the time Dreamspeaker was filmed, Jutra was undergoing another of his periodic bouts of depression; perhaps he'd hoped that this film would serve as therapy.

Orphaned 14-year-old Benoit (Jacques Gagnon) comes to live with a foster family in a Canadian mining village in the 1940s - his Aunt Cecile and Uncle Antoine run a general store, and Antoine also serves as the local undertaker.
But the casket and corpse are lost in an accident caused by Antoine's drinking.
Screenwriter Clement Perron, who grew up in a French-Canadian village, writes from experience with a poet's delicacy and sensitivity, and director Jutra (who also plays Cecile's lover in the film) has masterfully captured the comical foibles and small and large heartbreaks of his subjects.
