On the other hand I watched a neat little Quebecois comic drama called Horloge Biologique (Dodging the Clock in English, though a better translation would be "Biological Clock.") It's about three guys who are facing their girl's fertility -- one's got a kid, one's having a kid, one's got a girl who wants a kid. They're thirtysomethings and they're panicking.
Nothing particularly clever, just heartfelt, funny, well acted, well written, convincing. And, from a Canuck perspective, it made absolutely no effort to be "Quebecois." It just told its story unapologetically. And was all the more convincing for it.
Nice work, les gars.
