'Wow' is a 1969 Qubcois film directed by Claude Jutra, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.
Synopsis
Claude Jutra's first feature-length film is an improvised docudrama about the lives and dreams of nine Montreal young people. The film is made up of nine separate episodes, each one expressing a particular fantasy of one member of the group. This exuberant, low-budget effort, shot in the style of the French New Wave films, provides hints of Jutra's immense talents as a director.
Production
Subjects in the film included some participants Jutra had worked with in his 1966 mockumentary film 'The Devil's Toy' ('Rouli-roulant'), a faux-anti-skateboarding propaganda film.
Sequel
Thirty years after the production of 'Wow', the NFB co-produced a sequel 'Wow 2', using the same concept of adolescents acting out their dreams.
