Canadian film - Les Doigts croches (Sticky Fingers)

Went to see that movie, in the original version, last night in Montreal.

A mix of comedy and drama. The depiction of the camino is somewhat ridiculous at times, especially for someone who's done it before. Bear in mind that it was not the intent of the author to reflect life on the Camino.

Don't go heel over head to see it.

Cheers,

I saw Les doigts croches on Saturday night and quite enjoyed it-- it was not until the credits that I saw that the film had been shot in Argentina, which made me feel better as I could not recognize any of the locations and thought that I had been afflicted with senile dementia before my time. In any case, it is not as much about the specifics of the Camino than it is about how it affects the pilgrim and how the imposition of the tradition has an impact on the pilgrim and, from the bank robbery stash at the end of it all, pilgrimage motives can be very mixed.

I thought that the acting was subtle and effective but kilometrage and your views may vary-- others may have their own opinions. For those who are interested in French-Canadian popular culture of the late 1950s and early 1960s, there are oodles of fun references and kitschy songs.
