Northwest Film Forum kicks off a Canadian New Wave series (Tuesdays and Wednesdays through April 25) with this
fresh little number about youth, class, and love in 1960s Montreal. It's fantastic across the board, but director Gilles Groulx is especially perceptive about
the problem of sympathy between minority groups—from the ironic use of John Coltrane as a soundtrack to Francophone rage to the protagonist's final admission that maybe his Jewish girlfriend just doesn't get what's so difficult about being an
angry young Québécois. (

7 and 9 pm, $5—$8.50.)
