About This Movie

So, 'News, news' is this quirky little gem from 2014, set in the wintery backdrop of Montréal. You’ve got this amusing blend of comedy and fantasy that feels almost dreamlike. The pacing is a bit erratic, which I think actually enhances the whimsical tone. You've got these three captains, each trying to win over a girl, while Jean-Baptiste Lamirande, who’s like a comedic tragic figure, makes a rather peculiar return from the dead. The whole amnesia angle with Héloïse adds layers of intrigue too. It's distinctively offbeat, with some clever practical effects that catch you off guard and performances that really embrace that absurdity. Not your typical fare, but definitely intriguing in its execution.
