Le curé de village
The Cinémathèque québécoise is pleased to partner with Éléphant : mémoire du cinéma québécois to show each month, on the big screen, a restored work from its film repertoire.
A convict on the run returns to his native village to see his daughter, who believes him to be dead. The priest intervenes to avoid a scandal that would reflect on the young girl on the eve of her wedding.
Paul Gury
In 1918, Paul Gury became director of the National Theatre in Montreal. His first play, Le Mortel baiser, presented in 1923, was a worldwide success and was translated into several languages. Between 1923 and 1928, he lived in Paris and worked at the Théâtre de l'Œuvre with the director Lugné-Poe. Back in Quebec, in parallel to his theatrical activities, he made a career as a radio scriptwriter at CKVL, CKAC and Radio-Canada. While pursuing his career as a playwright and director, Paul Gury directed some of the first films shot in Quebec: Un homme et son péché and Le Curé de village.
