It was shot at Expo 67 in 1979, in the middle of the winter, in abandoned pavillions that were sprayed with water for days, which turned into ice. It is by far the worst movie I've seen in years and I needed to try 3 times to watch it until the end without committing suicide but it is good for the visual. You'll recognize most of the places. There's an train Expo Express in the movie too, the bridge to go from Notre-Dame to Ste-Hélène Island and all sorts of trashed up stuff. If you get the DVD version, check out the "extra - the making of the Quintet universe". It explains how they chose the location, how they moved sculptures and other Expo stuff around, what Montréal asked out of the crew and how many members of the crew broke their arms in the abandoned pavillions that were sprayed with icy water.

Weirdly, I don't dislike that movie at all!! Sure it's slow, hypnotizing with no action, but I liked it. And you're right, the visuals are beautiful and amazing on the old Expo sets, even with the old train wagons all wrecked!!

I guess I'm really showing my age (or my status as an old fart), but I never would have thought to check out Youtube for videos of Expo67. I've watched several of them now, and they've caused a flood of memories to come back. I was 11 years old that centennial year, and my sisters and I spent a lot of time on those islands. Those were pretty heady times, there was a sense of optimism, a sense that anything was possible--there was far less of the cynicism that there is today. It's hard to believe that, just a week from tomorrow, it'll be 40 years since Expo67 opened. Thanks again. EGV "You're a catastrophe...

Love the pics... I'm not sure where my Expo passport went to... maybe my mother still has it--I'll have to ask her. If you had an Expo 67 passport, try to find it and keep it close. there will probably en event at the end of the summer where you'll be admitted to special activities if and only if you can show your original passport (or a passport I believe) and you'll get a special stamp for the 40th anniversary.
