Info

They come in high-powered convertibles, with cameras and curiosity, to look at French Canada and French-Canadians. Their usual objective is Québec City, where they can soak up a bit of French culture without a trip to France. With an eye for humour, VISIT TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY shows the people of Québec taking a look at American tourists who have come to Québec to take a look at them.

SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
meddlecore This is another beautiful documentary made by Canadian/Quebecois director's Michel Brault and Claude Jutra- shot in the Direct Cinema tradition. The film was directed by Brault & Jutra, shot by Brault & Gosselin, and edited by Jutra- a truly collaborative effort. It offers us yet another glimpse into Quebec culture during the infancy of the Quiet Revolution. The film is shot as if from the perspective of a privileged tourist, as they approach the border crossing. Most of the footage was shot from a moving car; with the rest emulating the curious "eye of the other". A keen and attentive eye that is always observing and absorbing, not only the ongoing events, but local inhabitants as well.6 out of 10.
