La mémoire des anges

À la façon des disc-jockeys qui revitalisent la musique actuelle en reformatant et en recyclant les sons, Luc Bourdon a procédé à un assemblage d'archives et d'extraits tirés de 120 films produits par l'ONF pour nous présenter la ville de Montréal des années 1950 et 1960.

What was Montreal like in the 1950s and 1960s? What were its distinguishing features? What was the role of the Catholic Church? What kinds of transportation were most common? Did cultural life seem to play an important role? What were the working-class neighbourhoods like? This film is an ideal tool for studying the structure and dynamics of life in Montreal on the cusp of the Quiet Revolution.
