Hunting the Northern Godard
Hunting the Northern Godard is a Canadian drama film, directed by Éric Morin and released in 2013. Inspired by influential film director Jean-Luc Godard's visit to the Abitibi-Témiscamingue region of Quebec in 1968, the film centres on the developing relationship between Paul, a musician from Montreal who accompanied Godard on the trip, and Marie, a young woman from Rouyn-Noranda who becomes drawn into a love triangle between Paul and her boyfriend Michel.
The character of Paul was based on Pierre Harel of Offenbach.
Dubreuil's real-life garage rock band Les Breastfeeders appear in the film as Paul's band Les Tragédiens. Godard himself is a minor character in the film, portrayed by musician Jean-Philippe Goncalves, and the film includes narration by playwright René-Daniel Dubois.
The film received five Jutra Award nominations at the 16th Jutra Awards in 2014, for Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Hairstyling and Best Sound.
