Une secrétaire
A film by Gilles Groulx.
The bride
On a wedding day, women are confined to the kitchen to prepare the meal while the men wait to be served. While men talk politics and sports, women talk about their condition. A teenager observes the gap between the sexes. Co-directed by two actresses, Paule Baillargeon and Frederique Collin, The Red Kitchen is the birth of the Quebec women's cinema. The birth of the film was difficult, and funding has been largely achieved through donations from friends and a benefit concert. This war of the sexes takes place in a demanding formal research, based on the improvisation of the actors, whose preparation took place over long sessions in the workshop. The end result mixes black humour, horror and a very expressive fantasy that gave rise to heated debates.
La soeur de Philippe
A director and an editor, both women, cannot work on a movie presenting the rape of a nurse without reacting on the scenes they're working on, the situation of womanhood in general, and the way the 'Justice' handle those cases of rape.
A young police officer goes through Abitibi to take a train with a young convict who escaped from her orphanage.

Shop Girl
A TV news cameraman's appetite for fine wine, fast cars and beautiful women draws him into the grip of a heroin smuggler.
마카베예프 감독의 에로틱 판타지 영화 중 가장 화제가 되었고, 논란이 되었던 작품이다. 캐나다와 프랑스 공동 제작으로 만든 영화로 미스 월드로 뽑힌 여성의 성적 일탈과 칼 마르크스의 동상을 달고 암스테르담 일대의 강을 돌아다니는 배의 여선장이 추구하는 도착적인 성애를 병치시켰다. 제목과는 달리 과격한 영화로 미스 월드의 모험을 통해서 부르주아 사회가 파멸시킨 성의 가치를 확인시키고, 몰락한 혁명의 숙명을 안고 떠도는 배 안에서 여선장이 벌이는 섹스를 통해 죽음의 이미지를 보여준다. 자본주의와 사회주의 모두 진정한 성 해방을 이루는데 실패했다는 마카베예프의 비판이 이 영화에 녹아있다.
Lolotte
Disguising himself as a geisha and introducing himself as Madame Mufiko, a certain Max Fox opens a school in Paris where he proposes to teach the Japanese art of love. He recruits a few students, boys and girls, to whom he teaches to imitate the positions represented on old prints. The young people set themselves to it with such ardor that soon the girls are pregnant. In addition, the school is put under police surveillance and the false Mufiko sees her true identity revealed.
Lovely (as Michel Mercure)
Quebec sex farce about a straitlaced young man who spends time in a commune, while a hippie takes his place as a French tutor for a rich family's daughter.
Between fiction and documentary, Jacques Godbout's feature film takes a critical look at the Quebecois youth of the 1960s. Kid Sentiment, it is the adolescent who says no to tenderness because it is embarrassing. On the theme of amorous initiation, the camera becomes a witness of this lucid youth, funny, friendly to noise and eccentricity. Made with the participation of two members of the yeye singers group, the Sinners.
