Quote:
"The diegesis is broken by simulated documentary sequences in which the director and editor (Monique Miller plays the director and Micheline Lanctôt the editor) comment on the fiction that begins with the lengthy rape scene. In these shifts from fiction to documentary-like debate on issues of narrative construction, women's collaboration becomes an aesthetic and ethical necessity in [Anne Claire] Poirier's feminizing voice and vision."
