'Rebelle' Dominates Quebec's Prix Jutra

Rachel Mwanza in Rebelle
After sweeping the Canadian Screen Awards a few weeks ago, Rebelle (War Witch) has dominated the kudos for Quebec's Prix Jutras. The Jutras, named after filmmaker Claude Jutra, are Quebec's highest film honour. Rebelle more or less performed a cut and paste job with the CSAs and the Jutras by repeating its wins in most categories. I'm disappointed that this coup meant another loss for Laurence Anyways star Suzanne Clément, who didn't get the recognition she deserved from Canadian voters. Best Actor, however, went to Julien Poulin for his commanding performance in Camion, which I had the fortune to see last week at DiverCiné. Xavier Dolan's Laurence Anyways rounded out the list of the night's winners, as it took home three artistic awards. Rebelle and Laurence Anyways led the nominations going in with nine nominations apiece. Rebelle took home eight trophies.
