Gord in both official languages... - Stephen Dame - 07-07-2004
I remember the "Roman-a-clef" lyric and the "Manhattan French" line from Lofty Pines... does Gord parle francais in any other songs that I'm forgetting?

Metroplis Noir.
Well,if it is not, it sounds French at least.

Watch for that line in the upcoming future, or so I hope...

i've always wanted to know what "cinema a'clef" is. does anyone know? it sounds like a cinema genre or movement, like 'film noir' or 'dogma'. any film students out there? would not suprise me if gord was up on his cinema.

"cinema a' clef" means "cinema has key"
Real events and people under the guise of fiction.

The correct term is actually "Cinema La Clef" not sure why Gord uses "a" could just be a colloquialism I guess.
When I studied it, it was described as geurilla film making, or the ability to make stars out of people who don't even know they're being filmed, or filmed for commercial purposes at least. It's a raw, "cinema verite," super-8, documentary style film. Moore's early work, and even his latest latest documentary, somewhat fall into this category... although he wouldn't agree with that.

Born in the water off Road Apples is ABOUT French - the Sault STe. Marie's ill-fated school-board decision (Smart as Trees in Sault....) to try and ban French if I'm not mistaken.

It's been a while since I last saw it and Heather Graham annoys the hell out of me but yes I remember it being pretty funny; Murphy and Martin do a good job.
