La vraie nature de Bernadette

For our opening night at the Livart, come and enjoy a great Quebec classic celebrating its 50th anniversary, Gilles Carle’s cult film, LA VRAI NATURE DE BERNADETTE. All in the exquisite presence of Micheline Lanctôt and Donald Pilon!

A lawyer’s wife, Bernadette Brown, leaves home to live in the country with her young son Yannick. Imbued with naturist and libertarian theories, she strives to apply them in a life close to nature, much to the astonishment of Thomas Carrufel, her practical and protesting farmer neighbor. Around Bernadette, a small community of old men, children and vagabonds gathers, bringing to light the extraordinary within ordinary people.
