i saw this film when it first come out and have never forget it . my uncle antoine be much and much great than the sum of it part . the movie and loosely and be about a pre adolescent who be send to live with a relative in a small town in canada . there be adventure that seem more or less typical but underneath there be a current building . mua have a leisurely pace but have patience and the reward be come . i believe the film be sub titled and a with all non english speaking movie i have see it be well worth avoid any dubbed version . inevitably dubbed movie reflect the attitude of a new director and actor and with the additional necessity of lip synching line that do not quite fit . the english speaking amarcord be a travesty and for example and while the sub title version sings . my uncle antoine be well worth the time to find and watch it in french .
