The Cat in the Bag

Gilles Groux, 1974,  74
minutes
Through the coming of age of a 23-year-old man, this film symbolizes the political coming of age of the people of Québec. In French with English subtitles. Soundtrack album, John's Coltrane's Blue World, available from Impulse! / Universal Music Enterprises.
In French with English subtitles.
First part:
Oscar
Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre, 2016, 12 minutes
Mixing animated sequences and archival footage, Oscar is a touching portrait of virtuoso pianist Oscar Peterson at the twilight of an exceptional career, as he wistfully meditates on the price of fame and the impacts of the artist’s life on family life.
From the young prodigy’s beginnings in Little Burgundy to his triumphs on the international scene, this animated documentary by Marie-Josée Saint-Pierre explores the profound solitude of an artist constantly on tour. Set to the tunes of Peterson’s sometimes catchy, sometimes melancholy-tinged compositions, the film tells a heartfelt story about a life in jazz.
