Pudding chômeur

Pudding chômeur (1996)

Deliberately Felliniesque, this surreal and uneven Canadian satire from iconoclastic French Canadian director Gilles Carle offers an episodic look into an anarchistic, metaphorical world filled with a bizarre assortment of weirdos, wackos and misanthropes. The story roughly centers on the adventures of Yo-Yo, a young woman who is first seen acting as a high priestess for a ceremony involving the miraculous healing powers of the little boy Alphonse.

Interesting facts

Poor Man's Pudding is a Canadian satirical comedy film, released in 1996. It was the final theatrical film directed by Gilles Carle.

Production

The film is in part a satire of the political and social rhetoric, on both sides of the issue, in the 1995 Quebec referendum on independence from Canada; Carle was inspired by, and singled out for special opprobrium in his film, the notion offered by some of his sovereignist friends that Quebec independence would in and of itself solve the social problems of poverty, unemployment and homelessness.
