Product Description
Un incontournable québécois
Dans la veine d’Amélie Poulain, des films de Capra ou de Pagnol, La Grande Séduction, premier long métrage de Jean-François Pouliot sur un scénario de l’humoriste Ken Scott, est une comédie populaire fort sympathique. Sur un fond social assez fort, le film en a séduit plus d’un, même à l’étranger, surtout par ses interprètes attachants (David Boutin, Raymond Bouchard, Clémence DesRochers, Rita Lafontaine, Benoît Brière, notamment) et son ton humaniste et poétique. Chaleureux, il a été récompensé par un Génie, six prix Jutra et par le prix du public au festival de Sundance en 2003.

Véritable succès populaire du cinéma québécois en 2003, gagnant d’un nombre incalculable de récompenses tant aux Jutra qu’au festival de Sundance, La Grande Séduction a également réussi le tour de force de séduire le marché international. Pour son premier long-métrage, sur un scénario de l’humoriste Ken Scott, Jean-François Pouliot ne pouvait rêver mieux.
Le petit village de Ste-Marie-la-Mauderne vit chichement de pêche et, malgré l'harmonie sociale qui y règne, aspire à développer son économie grâce à l'implantation d'une usine. Mais, sans médecin au cœur de la communauté, les investisseurs refusent de considérer le village comme possible destination. Commence alors pour les habitants la grande opération de séduction visant à attirer parmi eux un médecin montréalais.
Réunissant quelques-uns des comédiens québécois les plus populaires (David Boutin, Raymond Bouchard, Clémence Desrochers, Rita Lafontaine, Benoît Brière…), filmé dans les décors charmants de l’île d’Harrington Harbour, La Grande Séduction est un film qui, sans être révolutionnaire, est tout de même éminemment sympathique et tout prêt à faire du bien à son spectateur. À mi-chemin entre l’optimisme humaniste d’un Capra et la charmante poésie d’un Jeunet, la trame emprunte également quelques accents de Pagnol par son ancrage social. Révélant le ridicule de ses personnages pour mieux les rendre attachants, ce film chaleureux pêche tout de même par une réalisation parfois un peu figée, mais se rattrape rapidement grâce à ses dialogues entraînants et vifs et à ses interprètes convaincants. Difficile de ne pas se laisser séduire ! – Helen Faradji

In the spirit of "Waking Ned Devine",
By
This review is from: La Grande Séduction (Seducing Dr. Lewis) (DVD)
What a fun little movie! The film is about a small fishing town that's trying to win over a doctor so that their town can get a factory. The film has the same spirit of a town coming together to trick an outsider (the doctor) as "Waking Ned Devine," and is just as much fun. Four stars because the off-screen sex at the beginning and end of the film is completely unnecessary, and isn't funny at all. Other than that, it's pretty good!

This review is from: La Grande Séduction (Seducing Dr. Lewis) (DVD)
"Seducing Dr. Lewis" (2002) is a French Canadian film that I enjoyed, and that is likely to please the spectator that simply wants to be entertained. From my point of view, this is a funny albeit somewhat predictable film, that will make you laugh but that won't surprise you.
The story takes place in a remote and very small village, St. Marie-La-Mauderne, where people cannot find work and must ask for welfare checks. That makes them extremely sad, almost gloomy, because for them a job means dignity, and that is something they don't think they have. Thanksfully, hope appears for the citizens of St. Marie-La-Mauderne in the form of a project to build a factory. Unfortunately, there is a condition they will need to fulfill, as the factory will only be built if they can find a doctor that wants to live in their town. Of course, when chance brings Dr. Lewis to their little town for a short séjour, the citizens of St. Marie-La-Mauderne are extremely happy, and prepared to do everything to make him realize that their town is an ideal place to live. How far will they go? Well, just rent this dvd and watch. It won't be boring :) Belen Alcat
