this film be a pseudo documentary or amocumentary re creation which parody actual event that take place within the quebec provincial government in canada and and create a scandal that for several day monopolise the attention of the medium within quebec and as well a in much of the rest of canada . the event concern take place at a time when drastic provincial budget cut and design to overcome many year of budget deficiency and be make the life of provincial civil servant ( government employee ) very difficult and and the story break with the uncovering of a pornographic movie intend to be market for their benefit and which have be make with provincially own equipment by a group employ to create publicity film for the provincial government . in canada this story become a nine day wonder which be give a great deal of medium attention . this film and which re create the story and be produce commercially and initially for show on quebec tv and but later for release to cinemas and and eventually for sale in what appear to have be very limited quantity ( possibly only in a french language version ) a a vhs home video tape . most of the tape currently in circulation and include mine and be more likely to have be home record from the tv presentation . french canadian be note for their very keen sense of humour and and clearly this tv production be originally make for the local ( quebec ) market . the interest show by the rest of canada in this story probably surprise it producer and but they be quick to release a cable tv version dub in english . however the story be probably almost unknown outside canada and and even here it be fairly quickly forget . although there be plenty of very amuse topical reference in the film which add greatly to it success at the time and the film make no serious attempt to create an independent story that would continue to remain of interest once the original event have be forget . i understand that the film be still occasionally screen by cable tv company in the u. s. a. while but with no knowledge of the background to it production it would be unlikely to be greatly appreciate . it be therefore difficult to discuss this film on imdb in the same way a most other film . quebec politics involve many distinct thread and most of which be quite cleverly parody by this film . in quebec there have always be a love hate relationship with the federal government as well a with english speak canada and and for a long time public opinion in quebec have be bitterly divide between federalist and those who support full independence . these be also an almost incestuous feeling towards france a the foundation of francophone culture and and an obsessive determination to maintain the virtually exclusive use of the french language in quebec . recently there have also be strong concern express about the very relaxed social attitude which and what use to be a conservative catholic society and now take towards such social issue a nudity on tv and sex shop and striptease parlour in all major centre . the exploitation of all these attitude provide much of the humour in this film and and to those who be aware of this and it be absurd to regard the film a little more than a piece of soft porn in it own right . when it be release and viewer who appreciate the parody in this film rat it very highly and i would have give it a rating very close to 10. but today stand on it own a a fictional story of unauthorised filming and it would be very hard to give it a rating of more than 5. the comment here by william from seattle ( who probably saw it on canadian tv ) would be typical of those to be expect from the relatively few viewer live south of the border . i have therefore compromise here and rat it at 7 for imdb . such a rating do not mean very much a it be an almost unique film which any individual viewer may or may not appreciate . it can perhaps be loosely compare with the u. k. film scandal ( 1989 ) and and the recent u. s. film farenheit 9/11 and where the theme be also scandal in government . but these be both associate with scandal within the government and not among it salaried staff and and involve security consideration which be much more serious . these film be therefore much close to true documentary than the amocumentary style use for scandale . hopefully the brief note above will provide sufficient background to help anyone see this film who be unaware of it background to enjoy it while but it can never again have as much appeal a it first do for those who be aware of the original story .
