Yet Arcand has been making films since the early 1960s. When he started making films, Quebec was rapidly transforming from a relatively homogeneous community, united by its Catholic faith and French language and culture, into a more fragmented modern society. The Films of Denys Arcand sheds light on how Arcand addressed the impact of these changes from the 1960s, when the long-drawn-out debate on Quebec's possible separation from the rest of Canada began, to the present, in which the traditional cultural heritage has been further fragmented by the increasing presence of diasporic communities. His career and films offer an ideal case study for exploring the contradictions and tensions that have shaped Quebec cinema and culture in a period of increasing globalization and technological change"-- Arcand, Denys 1941 June 25- Criticism and interpretation Arcand, Denys 1941 June 25- fast LITERARY CRITICISM / Canadian bisacsh Criticism, interpretation, etc fast Leach Jim author BK020000 XK020000 XK020000 acq-record IDSBB B500 B500 FH VRF_AP_51400_A668 1 IDSBB A100 A100 100FM UBH IDSBB 490 0- Global film directors series IDSBB 700 1- Leach Jim author
