The Barbarian Invasions () is a 2003 Canadian-French sex comedy-drama film written and directed by
|
86_1
|
Denys Arcand and starring Rémy Girard, Stéphane Rousseau and Marie-Josée Croze. The film is a
|
86_2
|
sequel to Arcand's 1986 film The Decline of the American Empire, continuing the story of the
|
86_3
|
character Rémy, a womanizing history professor now terminally ill with cancer.
|
86_4
|
The sequel was a result of Arcand's longtime desire to make a film about a character close to
|
86_5
|
death, also incorporating a response to the September 11 attacks of 2001. It was produced by
|
86_6
|
companies from both Canada and France, and shot mainly in Montreal, also employing a former
|
86_7
|
hospital and property near Lake Memphremagog.
|
86_8
|
The film received a positive response from critics and became one of Arcand's biggest financial
|
86_9
|
successes. It was the first Canadian film to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film,
|
86_10
|
at the 76th Academy Awards in 2004. It won awards at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival, six Genie
|
86_11
|
Awards, including Best Motion Picture, and three César Awards, including Best Film. The Barbarian
|
86_12
|
Invasions was followed by the thematically related Days of Darkness in 2007 and The Fall of the
|
86_13
|
American Empire in 2018.

|
Plot
|
86_15
|
Seventeen years after the events of The Decline of the American Empire, Sébastien is enjoying a
|
86_16
|
successful career in quantitative finance in London when he receives a call from his mother,
|
86_17
|
Louise, that his father and Louise's ex-husband Rémy is terminally ill with cancer. Sébastien is
|
86_18
|
not enthused about seeing Rémy, whom he blames for breaking up the family with his many adulteries.
|
86_19
|
Rémy and his friends of the older generation are still largely social-democrats and proponents of
|
86_20
|
Quebec nationalism, positions seeming somewhat anachronistic long after the Quiet Revolution of the
|
86_21
|
1960s. Rémy does not like Sébastien's career, lack of reading or fondness for video games.
|
86_22
|
The father and son travel to the U.S. state of Vermont to briefly receive medical care before
|
86_23
|
returning to the overcrowded and disorganized Quebec hospital. Sébastien attempts to bribe hospital
|
86_24
|
administration for better care, and calls Rémy's old friends about a possible visit. Upon hearing
|
86_25
|
heroin is "800%" more effective than morphine, he tracks some down for Rémy from a drug addict,
|
86_26
|
Nathalie.
|
86_27
|
Meanwhile, Rémy is reunited with his friends, including Pierre, Dominique, Claude and Diane,
|
86_28
|
Nathalie's mother, and they share a conversation on their old sex drive and the gradual decline of
|
86_29
|
their vitality. Diane is concerned for Nathalie, while Rémy, a history professor, lectures the
|
86_30
|
hospital chaplain Constance on the relative peace of the 20th century compared to past centuries.
|
86_31
|
At the same time, another scholar describes the September 11 attacks as historically small except
|
86_32
|
as a possible beginning of modern barbarian invasions. After Rémy and his friends retreat to the
|
86_33
|
countryside, they speak of their devotion to constantly evolving -isms. Rémy dies in the company of
|
86_34
|
his friends and Sébastien, after a heroin injection from Nathalie, whom Rémy calls his guardian
|
86_35
|
angel.

Production
Development
|
86_37
|
Denys Arcand, who wrote and directed the successful French Canadian film The Decline of the
|
86_38
|
American Empire (1986), developed the idea of returning to the characters years later due to a
|
86_39
|
fascination with death and an idea of having a character who is expecting to die. Part of his
|
86_40
|
interest in the subject matter related to both of his parents dying of cancer. He had tried to
|
86_41
|
write screenplays about non-Decline characters going to die for 20 years prior to The Barbarian
|
86_42
|
Invasions, originally pitching the idea to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation but having
|
86_43
|
difficulty with the subject matter being overly sentimental. He finally decided to try the story
|
86_44
|
with characters from The Decline of the American Empire because of his fondness for its cast
|
86_45
|
members. There are also characters from Arcand's 1989 film Jesus of Montreal in the film.
|
86_46
|
The September 11 attacks of 2001 occurred when Arcand was nearly finished his screenplay, and gave
|
86_47
|
new impetus to Arcand's ideas of "the decline of the American Empire." Arcand believed the attack
|
86_48
|
represented the first of what would be many foreign attacks on the U.S. Arcand also referred to
|
86_49
|
himself as "post-isms", and incorporated this discussion into the film.
|
86_50
|
Another statement he tried to make with his film was that heroin could be legalized for terminally
|
86_51
|
ill patients in Canada, claiming it already is in England. Author Susan C. Boyd wrote that, despite
|
86_52
|
what the film portrays, heroin has been legal in Canadian palliative care since 1984. To research
|
86_53
|
how his character would find heroin, Arcand contacted the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and met
|
86_54
|
with them in an interrogation room, resembling the one in the final film. He claimed the RCMP gave
|
86_55
|
him the cellphone number of a Montreal detective, and when he called it, he heard shouting from a
|
86_56
|
police raid on the Hells Angels, which resulted in the arrest of Maurice Boucher.
|
86_57
|
The film was produced by both Canadian and French companies, including Telefilm Canada, Société
|
86_58
|
Radio-Canada and Canal+. The budget was $6 million.
|
86_59
|
Casting
|
86_60
|
The cast members from the previous film, including Dorothee Berryman, Louise Portal, Dominique
|
86_61
|
Michel, Pierre Curzi and Yves Jacques, were easy to secure for the sequel. New to the cast was
|
86_62
|
Marie-Josée Croze, who was selected by Arcand after starring in the Canadian films Maelstrom (2000)
|
86_63
|
and Ararat (2002). She found Arcand allowed her freedom in how she interpreted her role. In The
|
86_64
|
Decline of the American Empire, Croze's character Nathalie is played by child actress Ariane
|
86_65
|
Frédérique.
|
86_66
|
Stéphane Rousseau, better known in Quebec as a stand-up comedian than an actor, was cast as
|
86_67
|
Sébastien, after Dominique Michel urged Arcand to allow Rousseau to audition. Arcand explained he
|
86_68
|
felt Rousseau had the "authority" the other actors who auditioned did not, though Rousseau was
|
86_69
|
surprised to get the part as he felt his character was colder and more of an intellectual than he
|
86_70
|
was. Rousseau's mother had died of cancer when he was a child, and he had fought with his father,
|
86_71
|
later incorporating that experience into his performance.
|
86_72
|
Filming
|
86_73
|
The film was shot over 50 days, beginning in September 2002 and finishing in November. The bulk of
|
86_74
|
the film was shot in Montreal, with some scenes filmed in London. Footage from the World Trade
|
86_75
|
Center attack shot by a Quebec architect and acquired by Radio-Canada was also used.
|
86_76
|
For the hospital scenes, the cast and crew employed Lachine General Hospital, an unused former
|
86_77
|
hospital in Lachine, Quebec. Cinematographer Guy Dufaux found these scenes difficult to make
|
86_78
|
interesting and realistic at the same time, and decided on more lighting for later scenes when the
|
86_79
|
film's mood brightens, while using fluorescent fixtures and reflecting the former hospital's green
|
86_80
|
painting to shoot the early scenes. As with the first film, scenes were filmed near Lake
|
86_81
|
Memphremagog. Most of the film was shot using a Steadicam.
|
86_82
|
Release
|
86_83
|
News that Arcand was working on a sequel to his 1986 film was received with a skeptical and
|
86_84
|
negative response from critics. The film was screened at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival in May,
|
86_85
|
where it received a 22-minute standing ovation, with distribution to 30 countries assured by the
|
86_86
|
time Arcand received his Best Screenplay award. It was afterwards selected to open the gala at the
|
86_87
|
2003 Toronto International Film Festival in September, and also opened the Vancouver International
|
86_88
|
Film Festival that month. The film began playing in Quebec theatres in May and ran for months, with
|
86_89
|
its Canadian distributor being Alliance Films. It opened across Canada on 21 November.
