Synopsis
Since the defeat of the pro-sovereigntists in the 1995 Quebec referendum, the loss of a cohesive nationalistic vision in the province has led many Québécois to use their ancestral origins to inject meaning into their everyday lives. A Cinema of Pain argues that this phenomenon is observable in a pervasive sense of nostalgia in Quebec culture and is especially present in the province's vibrant but deeply wistful cinema. In Québécois cinema, nostalgia not only denotes a sentimental longing for the bucolic pleasures of bygone French-Canadian traditions, but, as this edited collection suggests, it evokes the etymological sense of the term, which underscores the element of pain ( algos ) associated with the longing for a return home ( nostos ). Whether it is in grandiloquent historical melodramas such as Séraphin: un homme et son péché (Binamé 2002), intimate realist dramas like Tout ce que tu possèdes (Émond 2012), charming art films like C.R.A.Z.Y. (Vallée 2005), or even gory horror movies like Sur le Seuil (Tessier 2003), the contemporary Québécois screen projects an image of shared suffering that unites the nation through a melancholy search for home., Since the defeat of the pro-sovereigntists in the 1995 Quebec referendum, the loss of a cohesive nationalistic vision in the province has led many Qu?b?cois to use their ancestral origins to inject meaning into their everyday lives. A Cinema of Pain argues that this phenomenon is observable in a pervasive sense of nostalgia in Quebec culture and is especially present in the province's vibrant but deeply wistful cinema. In Qu?b?cois cinema, nostalgia not only denotes a sentimental longing for the bucolic pleasures of bygone French-Canadian traditions, but, as this edited collection suggests, it evokes the etymological sense of the term, which underscores the element of pain ( algos ) associated with the longing for a return home ( nostos ).

(Vall?e 2005), or even gory horror movies like Sur le Seuil (Tessier 2003), the contemporary Qu?b?cois screen projects an image of shared suffering that unites the nation through a melancholy search for home., Original essays argue that the loss of a cohesive nationalist vision in Quebec, triggered by the loss of the 1995 referendum on sovereignty, has resulted in a pervasive nostalgia that permeates all aspects of Québécois culture. In Québécois cinema, this nostalgia is evoked as the element of pain associated with the longing for a return home.
