86_90	After Cannes, rights were sold to Miramax for distribution of the film in the United States. It
86_91	opened in New York and Los Angeles on 21 November. In France, the film was available on 450 screens
86_92	at one time, the most for a Quebec film ever.
86_93	Reception
86_94	Box office
86_95	The film's box office performance at Quebec theatres between its opening in May 2003 and the fall
86_96	was considered good. By December, its initial release across Canada made $5.9 million.
86_97	In France, it grossed the equivalent of US$8 million. According to Box Office Mojo, the film
86_98	finished its run on 3 June 2004 after grossing $8,544,975 in North America and $18,379,681 in other
86_99	territories, for a worldwide total of $26,924,656. It was one of Arcand's biggest box office
86_100	successes.
86_101	Critical reception
86_102	The Barbarian Invasions has received positive reviews from numerous critics. In Canada, Maclean's
86_103	critic Brian D. Johnson called it not only satirical but "a moving elegy to a generation that
86_104	defined modern Quebec and has seen its passions rendered obsolete". Liam Lacey wrote in The Globe
86_105	and Mail that the film is "upbeat and wryly positive, or at least as much as you could expect from
86_106	a film that condemns the Quebec hospital system and features a death by cancer as its central
86_107	theme". The film drew general attention for its criticism of Quebec's health care system. Peter
86_108	Howell wrote in The Toronto Star that "It's the depth of emotions Arcand summons for his
86_109	characters, and the way this superb ensemble cast bring them so vividly to life, that make The
86_110	Barbarian Invasions a film not just to see, but to welcome home".
86_111	Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times gave the movie four stars and called it "a movie with brains,
86_112	indignation, irony and idealism". A.O Scott of The New York Times wrote "what makes The Barbarian
86_113	Invasions much more than a facile exercise in generational conflict is that Denys Arcand, who wrote
86_114	and directed it, has a sense of history that is as acute as it is playful", adding "The
86_115	rapprochement between Remy and Sebastien is beautiful to watch" and Marie-Josée Croze's "spooky,
86_116	melancholy intensity darkens the mood of buoyant sentimentality". Entertainment Weekly'''s Owen
86_117	Glieberman gave the film a B-, noting Rémy's hedonism. David Denby of The New Yorker gave credit to
86_118	Stéphane Rousseau for "a fascinatingly minimal performance". Jonathan Romney of The Independent
86_119	wrote "The film has its pros and cons, but you can't fault it for ambition: it not only muses on
86_120	life and death, but also undertakes fairly comprehensive philosophical soundings of the way the
86_121	world is today". Romney added Croze "has simply the most nuanced presence here: thoughtful,
86_122	introspective, with a reassuring warmth and lack of cartoonishness". Peter Bradshaw, writing for
86_123	The Guardian, disdained the movie, calling it "grotesquely overpraised", "shot through with
86_124	middlebrow sophistication, boorish cynicism, unfunny satire, a dash of fatuous anti-Americanism and
86_125	unthinkingly reactionary sexual politics". English Professor Peter Brunette wrote "its analysis of
86_126	this state of affairs is all too often annoyingly rhetorical and, finally, altogether too facile".
86_127	In 2004, the Toronto International Film Festival ranked the film tenth in the Top 10 Canadian Films
86_128	of All Time. David Lawrence Pike criticized the use of the World Trade Center footage as
86_129	exploitative, but said despite "the crudeness and vulgarity", the film had a "particular
86_130	brilliance". Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an 82% approval rating based on 134 reviews,
86_131	with an average rating of 7.24/10. Metacritic reports that the film has an average score of 70 out
86_132	of 100, based on 34 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".
86_133	AccoladesThe Barbarian Invasions is considered historically significant as the first Canadian film
86_134	to win the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Canadian historian George Melnyk
86_135	interpreted it as a sign that "Canadian cinema has come of global age", also pointing to
86_136	Atanarjuat: The Fast Runner (2001) winning the Camera d'Or at Cannes.
86_137	Marie-Josée Croze's honour for Best Actress at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival was considered
86_138	unlikely. She was not present to accept the award. The film's victory at France's national César
86_139	Awards was also considered a surprise, since it is mainly a Quebec film. It received the most
86_140	nominations at the 24th Genie Awards.
86_141	Legacy
86_142	In 2007, Arcand's film Days of Darkness was released. While considered part of a loose trilogy
86_143	following The Decline of the American Empire and The Barbarian Invasions, Arcand acknowledged in a
86_144	2007 interview Days of Darkness had more similarities to his less successful 2000 film Stardom.
86_145	Johanne-Marie Tremblay reprised her role as Constance from Jesus of Montreal and The Barbarian
86_146	Invasions. In 2018, Arcand's The Fall of the American Empire'' followed similar themes.

87_0	Barclay is a neighborhood in the center of Baltimore City. Its boundaries, as defined by the City
87_1	Planning Office, are marked by North Avenue, Greenmount Avenue, Saint Paul and 25th Streets. The
87_2	neighborhood lies north of Greenmount West, south of Charles Village, west of East Baltimore
87_3	Midway, and east of Charles North and Old Goucher. The boundary between the Northern and Eastern
87_4	police districts runs through the community, cutting it roughly in half.
87_5	History
87_6	Although the neighborhood's history reaches into the eighteenth century, most of the current
87_7	historic buildings date between 1870 and 1917. During this period, the neighborhood matured into an
87_8	urban, elegant rowhouse neighborhood. Influencing the architectural design of the neighborhood was
87_9	the building of Lovely Lane Methodist Church and Old Goucher College. In 1883, Stanford White
87_10	designed Lovely Lane Methodist Church. Between 1885 and 1897 Goucher College, then known as
87_11	Baltimore's Women College, had built twenty-two buildings. By 1910 Barclay and the surrounding
87_12	neighborhoods were completely developed, and these buildings weave together a design sensibility
87_13	still felt throughout the neighborhood.
87_14	The neighborhood thrived until the Great Depression. In the early 1940s the neighborhood began to
87_15	accommodate a large influx of war-time workers, and many of the houses were divided into
87_16	apartments. Goucher College moved its campus to Towson in 1952; the suburban rush was on. After the
87_17	1968 riots, many businesses and homeowners moved to the suburbs. Consequently, the neighborhood
87_18	began to become less desirable. During the mid-1990s, some demolition occurred within the area.
87_19	Today, however, there is a revival of urban living that has captured the attention of Baltimore.
87_20	Neighborhood & Community Organizations
87_21	Barclay has benefitted from the work of several neighborhood-focused organizations that engage in
87_22	community building and planning. Some of the active organizations are listed below:
87_23	Barclay-Midway & Old Goucher Coalition Greater Greenmount Community Association
87_24	People's Homesteading Group Station North Arts and Entertainment District
87_25	Education
