Je ne pouvais ôter mes yeux de l'écran et l'intégration d'hitchcock au film étais super lefun. il faut tellement que je vois i confess. et j'ai vraiment aprécié l'intégration du thème de la confession. bonbon pour le cerveau

A 1995 production. I understand the so-called plot twist & turn was new back then but not surprising at all today. Still, narrative is lil'bit too bland to me.

Brilliant in how Le Confessional incorporates Alfred Hitchcock as part of its clever plotting--especially when one gets to see the surprise twist, hence nullifying genre conventions of who the usual suspects are!

*plot spoiler: the priest...

Magnifique, surprenant et tres bien realise, encore mieux quand on a deja pu apprecier le film d'Hitchcock en question ;)

Dramaturgie puissante. Belle fresque et chassé croisée de personnage. Meilleur film québécois à vie.

Rachel, 16, unmarried, and pregnant, works in ...(read more...)the church. Filled with shame, she unburdens her guilt to a young priest, under the confidentiality of the confessional. In the present year of 1989, Pierre Lamontagne has returned to Quebec to attend his father's funeral. He meets up with his adopted brother, Marc, who has begun questioning his identity and has embarked on a quest for his roots that would lead them to the Quebec of the 1950s. Past and present converge in a complex web of intrinque where the answer to the mystery lies.

A rare gem that plays between fiction and reality. Great use of actors from both Canada and the United Kingdom (Alfred Hitchcock's lookalike is especially good).

Le meilleur film québecois.Les acteurs sont tous excellents. La réalisation et la direction photo, superbe et que dire du scénario! Robert Lepage a débuté en force!
