Directed by Pierre Jutras
Overview
Lamento is an unfinished novel by writer Albert Laberge. Laberge, recognized today as Quebec’s first naturalist author, published La scouine in 1918, a novel that earned him accusations of pornography from the Catholic Church. The fiction paints an impressionistic portrait of a man torn between his literary ambitions and his exhausting work as a sports journalist for the daily La Presse.
