  • "Having a difficult time dealing with death and regretful of his past, a man dying of cancer tries to find peace in his last moments. His estranged son, ex-wife, ex-lovers, and old friends will all come to him and share his last breath."
  • "Home use only."
  • "When Sébastien learns that his father, Rémy, is ill, he returns to Montréal to reunite with him and goes to great lengths to bring comfort, and happiness into his father's life."
  • "Examines the varying personal politics - economic and sexual - at play among an aging group of friends, lovers, and ex-spouses. Remy and Louise are divorced. Their son Sebastien lives in capitalist splendor in London. Their estranged daughter sails boats throughout the world. But the slightly estranged family is brought together by Remy's losing battle with terminal cancer, and the hedonistic, ex-radical father and straight-laced son have to overcome their differences."
  • "Winner of the 2005 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, The Barbarian Invasions is acclaimed Canadian writer/director Denys Arcand's most personal and moving film to date. Featuring his trademark biting wit, compassion and lyricism, Arcand has created a touching, true and open-hearted film. Remy is a rumpled bohemian history professor who has devoted his life to wine, women and left-wing causes. Now fighting cancer, there are still plenty of things that get him all fired up - most crucially his thorny relationship with his son, Sebastien, a London investment banker who disagrees with his erudite father on almost everything. Yet Sebastien gathers Remy's old friends by his side, as they both know that at the end all that truly survives is love and friendship. An extremely moving film that is one of the most intelligent and articulate entertainments of the year, The Barbarian Invasions is a feast of graceful, funny and sexy drama that is a true pleasure.--Kanopy."
  • "Rémy, divorced and in his early fifties is hospitalised. His ex-wife Louise asks their estranged son Sébastien to come home and see him. After hesitating, Sébastien returns to Montreal and as soon as he arrives, tries in every way possible to ease his father's ordeal. He reunites the merry band that marked Rémy's past: relatives, friends and former mistresses. Is the old irreverence, frienship and truculence still there? Do humour, hedonism and desire still inhabit their dreams? In the age of barbarian invasions, the decline of the American empire continues."
  • "After years of indulging his hedonistic lust for life and women, Rémy (Rémy Girard) is taken ill, an event that prompts a reunion with his ex-wife (Dorothée Berryman) and estranged son Sébastien (Stéphane Rousseau). As father and son learn to set aside their differences, Sébastien moves heaven and earth to make his father's life more comfortable, calling upon the unorthodox help of his old childhood friend Nathalie (Marie-Josée Croze) and Rémy's close friends and past mistresses."
  • "It's not easy for a narrow-minded professor to reconcile with his equally stubborn son. But soon, father and son find themselves gathering with their wide and colorful circle of family and friends to confrom their differences, confess their secrets, and celebrate life."
  • "In his early 50's and divorced, Rm̌y is in the hospital. His exwife Louise pleads with their son Sb̌astien, a very successful businessman in London, England, to come home. Sb̌astien hesitates -- he and his father haven't had much to say to each other for a very long time -- but ends up agreeing to return, along with his French wife, to help his mother out. As soon as he arrives, Sb̌astien does everything in his power to get a clear diagnosis of his father's health and to reduce his suffering. Using his creativity and his contacts, not to mention bribery, Sb̌astien turns the system upside down to obtain better conditions, and a bit of happiness, for his father. In the meantime, relatives, friends and lovers flock to Rm̌y's bedside to offer support, settle scores, and take a facetious look at their own existence. 17 years later, The Decline of the American Empire continues."
  • ""Having a difficult time accepting the reality of death and feeling regretful of his past, a man dying of cancer tries to find peace in his last moments. His estranged son, ex-wife, ex-lovers and old friends will all come to him to share his last breath"--Gabriel Laverdiere, Internet movie database, as viewed October 18, 2005."
