Description
Made famous in 1971 by the
success of La Sagouine and achieving international celebrity on winning
the Prix Goncourt for Pélagie-la-Charrette in 1979, Antonine
Maillet has been the mouthpiece of the Acadian people throughout the world for
fifty years.
Ginette Pellerin’s film invites
viewers to accompany the writer to the important places in her life, from
Bouctouche to Montreal by way of Moncton and the Théâtre du Rideau Vert. It
combines her confidences to the filmmaker with readings from her works and
interviews with publishers, professors, journalists and actors. Antonine
Maillet, who has rarely spoken of herself with such candour and generosity,
has given us an unforgettable autobiography.
