Gilles Groulx (1931-1994), figure marquante du cinéma québécois, était hostile à toute forme de compromissions. Du Chat dans le sac (1964) à Au pays de Zom (1982) en passant par 24 heures ou plus (1972), il a produit une œuvre cinématographique d'une grande exigence stylistique et thématique. Le cinéma de Groulx — loin d'apparaître comme un simple phénomène de mode — reste indéniablement d'actualité.
