SEEING MIAMI...

Directed by Gilles Groulx

1962 / 31min

A cinematic allegory of the modern U.S. at the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis, Gilles Groulx’s masterfully poetic montage essay evokes Quebecers’ simultaneous aversion and attraction to the El Dorado that is Florida—both a giant nursing home and an ideal of progress, American style.
