Rated 17 Sep 2020

Similar in content and structure to Kubrick's DAY OF THE FIGHT, down to the brother boxers, with the more staid, newsreel-type elements memorably transformed in the loose, inventive, irreverent style peculiar to Québec's direct cinema. The slight change in subject matter is also fitting: not experienced pros but promising amateurs, giving Groulx and the whole crew (Brault, Jutra, Gosselin) opportunity for a vivid portrait of working-class Montreal of the time, as experienced by Black newcomers
