About This Movie

Montréal Blues is an intriguing slice of life from the early '70s, where a group of idealistic youths dives into the world of organic cuisine. The film captures an almost meditative atmosphere, with its deliberate pacing allowing the audience to soak in the struggles and triumphs of its characters. There's a rawness to the performances, often unrefined yet deeply authentic, which really brings the spirit of the era alive. The film explores themes of community, sustainability, and the search for identity, all wrapped in the vibrant backdrop of Montreal. It’s distinct for its commitment to the organic movement before it became mainstream, and that adds a layer of historical richness that’s hard to ignore.

Montréal Blues has seen limited releases over the years, primarily on VHS and more recently in niche DVD collections, making it a bit of a rarity in the collector's market. Its scarcity adds to the allure for those interested in Canadian cinema from this period. Enthusiasts of organic food movements and 70s youth culture find this film particularly compelling, as it offers a glimpse into a time when these themes were just beginning to take shape.
