Le mal du siècle
Catherine Lepage
Canada (Quebec), Animation
A young woman tries to describe herself, presenting herself in an idyllic light: the one that is expected. The visual narration tells a very different story though, illustrating with poignant force the anxiety-provoking charge of hyper-performance and the pursuit of happiness. A film both funny and touching, and above everything, profoundly human.

December 24, 1983, 10:50 p.m.; Julie and her cousins had too much sugar, Santa Claus is late and Denis, alone in his car, is anxious to set foot in his ex-in-law's house to pick his children up. Like the ones I used to know is an early coming-of-age film that is as grating as it is poetic.
