Description: Additional Information from InnerSleeve Product Description Claude Jutra's emotionally powerful story of a young man coming of age in a Quebec mining town in the 1940's, Mon Oncle Antoine has become a celebrated touchstone of French Canadian cinema, and the film has been given a definitive home video presentation with this DVD release from the Criterion Collection. Mon Oncle Antoine has been transferred to disc in its preferred widescreen aspect ratio of 1.66:1, letterboxed on conventional televisions and enhanced for anamorphic playback on 16x9 monitors. Michel Brault, the film's cinematographer, supervised and approved the transfer, and the results are beautiful, with Brault's camerawork achieving a scruffy realism that also finds room for a painterly use of light, shade and color, and it has been served well in this edition. The audio is presented in both the original French and an unintentionally comical dubbed English track; both have been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono and the fidelity is excellent. Optional English subtitles are also included. Disc one of this package contains the feature and the original theatrical trailer, while disc two includes a documentary produced for the Canadian television series On Screen on the making of Mon Oncle Antoine, another documentary, Clause Jutra: An Unfinished Story, a slightly pretentious but heartfelt exploration of the director's brilliant but troubled life and career, and A Chairy Tale, a short film Jutra directed in collaboration with Norman McLaren. And the booklet features an essay from film historian Andre Loiselle, who discusses the picture's place in the pantheon of Canadian cinema as well as providing background on the historical events that color the story. While Mon Oncle Antoine has been a staple of Canadian broadcasting and repertory cinemas for years, it's been little seen in the United States, and this release from Criterion allows Jutra's masterwork to be seen in a manner that truly celebrates its outstanding qualities.
