Résumé de presse

LA PERLE DES ANTILLES:

The hope dominates in this documentary which presents determinedly a positive and stimulating image of Haiti. Lily Tasso, La Presse, 91 01 16, Montreal.

MORTEL DÉSIR:

The desire, the fantasies, the appetite to live, the anguish of death are put in bare, dissected… Mortal Desire then stands out to itself as a grave and completely grown-up document. P.M. Le Monde, 95 06 23, Paris.

He speaks about the AIDS as never one did it. Anne-Marie Cloutier, TV HEBDO, 1991 nov. 16 to 22, Montreal.

Nothing of cheap sensation, moralizer, alarmist in this documentary. Just a camera which the interviewees use as a shoulder. Hugo Léger, Le Devoir, 91 11 20, Montreal.

No "politically correctness" in Dufour's film... If you want to see a sensitive documentary about AIDS, thus... Richard Martineau, Voir, nov. 91, 21 au 27, Montreal.

The film produced by Gilles Lenoir is astonishing and heart-rending. The approach is the most realistic and the most credible… A deeply disturbing film... Daniel Rioux, Le Journal de Montreal, 91 11 21.

Mortal Desire is an unique and fascinated, almost grazed document. Terribly true and generous.. Véro Cratzborn, EDITO , Fest. Int. du film francophone de Namur, 92 10 06

A film which takes the drama out and humanizes the AIDS. Eric Fourlanty, Voir, dec. 3 to 9, Montreal.

Mario Dufour makes a success of a tour de force. Eric Etter, Voir, nov. 26 to dec. 2, Quebec.

Mortal Desire brings testimonies deeply disturbing, hard and cruel to listen and to see. Claire Harting, Le Journal de Montreal, 92 12 01.

It is necessary to greet the research which knew how to discover true beings .It needs to greet the directing which knew how to put comfortable these witnesses . . .Incontournable. Francine Laurendeau, Le Devoir, 92 12 05, Montreal.

The shockink film that one waited… Inescapable for one full-length film for all, of which one goes out profoundly touched, and maybe so a little changed. Huguette Roberge, La Presse, 92 12 05, Montreal

... The various speakers give themselves moreover with such a generosity as one would believe to attend a fiction. Paul Villeneuve, Le Journal de Montreal, 92 12 06.

More current events than never... The production aimed in at target. N.C., Échos-vedettes, déc. 92, 5 to 11, Montreal.

Mario Dufour knocks down the prejudices and the certainties. He questions. He disturbs... Not to miss, for the film quality... Anne-Sophie Kobrynsky, Le Trait d’Union, Dec. 1992, Montreal. A knock-out 100 minutes! S. Ch., La Meuse, 92 10 02, Belgium.

Mortal Desire, AIDS under a rare angle... Didier Husson, Camera video, Le Magazine du cinémascope, March 1993, France.

The love, the death, the life, conjugated here on all the tones with always this truth which proves that one can be serious without being "razor", responsible without being " tight buttocks ", concerned, without being "prudish", far from the pointless fashions and the easy fears. Révolution, March 1993, France.

Having seen Mortal Desire, I can not cover any more the subject of the AIDS in the same way. Carole Graveline, dec. 1992, Radio-Canada.

Thank you for reading. Mario Dufour
