Crazy, pop, colourful, the New Wave that swept Montreal through the 1980s came with its own music, style and state of mind. It went beyond music, reaching the fields of visual arts, dance, and cinema, and reaches success internationally. MONTREAL NEW WAVE is a feature documentary that explores the New Wave cultural current in Quebec in the 70's and 80's, documenting that part of our recent cultural history. Through archives and interviews with key figures of the time, the film sheds light on a defining current that still inspires the Quebec cultural scene today.
Érik Cimon's documentary is a fascinating highly-entertaining exploration of a little-know slice of Montreal's music history - the new wave years of the 1980s. - Brendan Kelly, The Gazette
