Barbarian Invasions, The

2003

When 50-something divorcé Rémy (Rémy Girard) is hospitalized for terminal cancer, his estranged son, Sébastien (Stéphane Rousseau), returns home to make amends in this Oscar-winning sequel to Denys Arcand's Decline of the American Empire. As Sébastien steers through the moldering health care system to bring comfort to his father, he founds common ground with Rémy as he learns about the man through friends and lovers from his complicated past.

A provocative new comedy about sex, friendship, and all other things that invade our lives.

Winner of 1 Academy Award
