LA MÉMOIRE DES ANGES




Documentary
Some dialogue in French but no English subtitles

REVIEW
The producers set about to take a look at Montreal in the 50’s and 60’s making use of the archives of the National Film Board of Canada. The result is a series of short stories, snippets of film clips from over 100 documentaries bringing back the sights and sounds of the times, from the mundane city street scenes to performances by Oscar Peterson and Paul Anka to name but a few.

With no commentary to interrupt your train of thought, you are left to make your own.

CLASSIFICATION


P.S.
Most of the people in the movie are angels now, thus the title of the film, the Memory of Angels.
