Le jour S... is a 1984 Canadian drama film directed by Jean Pierre Lefebvre. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival.[1] Jean-Baptiste (Pierre Curzi), a restless Québécois in his late 30s, spends the day alone in Montreal while his current partner (Marie Tifo) is pursuing a career in Toronto. Every woman he encounters reminds him of her. He relives his past through actual encounters as well as his imaginative memory.
The film was a sequel to Lefebvre's 1968 film Patricia and Jean-Baptiste (Patricia et Jean-Baptiste).[2]
The film was included in Jean Pierre Lefebvre: Vidéaste, a retrospective program of Lefebvre's films at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival.[3]
