Kamouraska

Kamouraska (1973)

A writer, Kamouraska is based on a real nineteenth-century love-triangle in rural Québec. It paints a poetic and terrifying tableau of the life of Elisabeth d'Aulnières: her marriage to Antoine Tassy, squire of Kamouraska; his violent murder; and her passion for George Nelson, an American doctor. Passionate and evocative, Kamouraska is the timeless story of one woman's destructive commitment to an ideal love.

Kamouraska is a 1973 French-Canadian film directed and written by Claude Jutra, based on the 1970 novel of the same name by Anne Hébert. At the time of its release it was the most expensive film ever made in Canadian history. It won four Canadian Film Awards, but was unsuccessful at the box office.

Production

Claude Jutra agreed to direct the film on the condition that Geneviève Bujold played the lead role.

The film based on Anne Hébert's novel was directed and written by Jutra and Michel Brault was the directory of cinematography. The French-Canadian co-production was shot from 1–29 March and 26 April to 30 June 1972. Three hours and forty minutes worth of footage was shot for the film.

The film had a budget of $750,000, but cost $905,000 (equivalent to $6,785,434 in 2025) to make. 75% of the funding came from Canada and 25% came from France. It was the most expensive film made in Canada at that point.

Jutra's first cut of the film was three hours and forty minutes long and his second cut was two hours and thirty minutes long. Renée Lichtig replaced him as editor and Jutra praised her work.
