Wikipedia says they were born northwest of Montreal and are associated with Quebec's Anglophone community, but have also performed and recorded a lot in French.

Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

The Barbarian Invasions is the only Quebecois film I've seen in recent memory. That was Quebecois, right?
Yes, that's Denys Arcand.
When megan says Quebecois, I think she means Francophone Quebecois, not just from Quebec.
Yes. Also, sadly, not cool-but-obscure Corwood bands, but more generic stuff.

Are they actually French-Canadian or am I misremembering?
They sing in French a lot. They sing one of my favorite Christmas songs, Il est né le divin enfant

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

When megan says Quebecois, I think she means Francophone Quebecois, not just from Quebec. But those bands are all from Quebec.
Being a lifelong resident of the Southern United States, I am very confused by your distinction.

All I got is Celine, then. Hey, completely off-topic (I mean, this is neither a music or lit thread), I just wanted to mention Carl Wilson's 33 1/3 book on Celine Dion is getting great press. He's apparently mainly questioning the state of rock criticism and received ideas of taste. I pre-ordered mine from Amazon a while back, but I've yet to receive a copy.

Kate and Anna McGarrigle.
They're from the Maritimes, aren't they?
Favorite (ok, only) Quebecois movie I own: La Florida.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I was gonna say, there are rumors that Ed Norton is unhappy with the cut of Citizen Kane, and he has notes.

Them what are talking French most of the time, count. Them what are not, don't count. And French you learned in college and only use to intimidate people when reading a wine list doesn't count either. Being actually in Quebec, or from there, is only a partial factor in the analysis.
