  • A 1952 film that seems destined to be the subject of a tug-of-war between those who say it’s one of the worst movies ever made and those who proclaim it a classic of Quebec cinema.  The fact that such a controversy even exists, and continues to rage, proves the film has worth, and is far more than the French-Canadian MOMMIE DEAREST that so many have dismissively called it.  A better comparison, I think, would be the vastly underrated Jack Ketchum adaptation THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, an unflinching depiction of child abuse that like LITTLE AURORE’S TRAGEDY (LA PETITE AURORE L’ENFANT MARTYRE) was fact-based.
