피에르 팔라르도 영화에서 퀘벡의 정치·역사적 함의

Abstract

Quebec is a region constituting Canada that uses French as its language and enjoys French-speaking culture as its culture. Quebec has endured inequality for a long time and suffers from identity confusion. In the second half of the 20th century, Quebec started to discover its independent identity, and this characteristic is particularly prominent in cinema. Pierre Flaardeau is Quebec's representative director who reproduces the purpose of establishing independent identity and political independence. Influenced by Quebec's history, he uses cinema as a political tool. Quebec's unique history was reflected in the work, and to this end, various genres, themes, and filmmaking were executed. His works are diverse, ranging from long or short documentary films with political intentions to the fore, short feature films with indirect political implications, and feature films intended to reinforce identity through satire and humor. In particular, the main character Elvis Graton remains an important icon of Quebec culture. Through his successes and ups and downs, his work is transformed from an element of division and segmentation into a wonderful example of diversity representing the immigrant country of Canada. The expression of Quebec's identity reproduced by his work leads to increased diversity in Canada with multi-ethnic and bilingualism, which increases national competitiveness. He is a political director who evoked history politically through the medium of film.
