Valérie (1969)
, 1h37Directed by Denis Héroux
Origin Canada
Genres Drama
Actors Danielle Ouimet, Guy Godin, Paul Buissonneau, Yvan Ducharme, Clémence DesRochers, Claude Préfontaine
Valérie is the story of a comely young woman (Danielle Ouimet) who, upon leaving a convent with the leader of a motorcycle gang, discovers the hippy culture of Montreal and turns to prostitution. This improbable storyline, made famous by the frank display of nudity and sexuality, came from a culture that was still labouring under a strong sense of Catholic guilt. It was the first of a group of films known as maple-syrup porn and it turned an unprecedented gross of over a million, making it the top domestic box office film of its time.
