1995 (2024)

In 1994, Ricardo gave up his dream of being a filmmaker. At twenty-four, he has already, in a way, accepted his destiny: that of a simple citizen, anonymous, lost in the immensity of consumer society. He will never be an artist. A call from Radio-Canada, however, rekindled the artistic flame of the young man whose application was selected among the finalists of the show La Course, 1994-95 Edition.

Interesting facts

1995 is a 2024 Canadian comedy film written and directed by Ricardo Trogi. The fourth film in his semi-autobiographical series after 1981, 1987 and 1991, the film stars Jean-Carl Boucher as Trogi, making his first foray into filmmaking as a contestant in the competition series La Course destination monde in 1995.

Production

The film's development was first announced in 2021. Filming began on October 10, 2023, and took place in Montreal, Quebec City, Morocco and Nepal.

Trogi stated that he considers the film to be the funniest in the series; he noted as well that while La Course was retitled in the film for copyright reasons, he kept the real names of key personalities who featured in the storyline, including host Pierre Therrien and judges Michel Coulombe, Louise Racicot and Manon Barbeau.

He has also stated that while there may be future films in the series, he is not currently certain of that, stating in particular that he doesn't see any comedy to be mined from his experiences directing his debut film Québec-Montréal.
