'Paul Qubec' ("Paul in Quebec City") is a Canadian drama film from Quebec, directed by Franois Bouvier and released in 2015.[https://montrealgazette.com/entertainment/movies/review-paul-a-quebec-is-a-moving-hymn-to-life "Review: Paul Qubec is a moving hymn to life"]. 'Montreal Gazette', September 17, 2015.

Based on Michel Rabagliati's graphic novel of the same title,[https://www.thestar.com/entertainment/2015/09/10/celebrated-comic-book-captures-quintessential-quebec.html "Celebrated comic book captures quintessential Quebec"]. 'Toronto Star', September 10, 2015. the film stars Franois Ltourneau and Julie Le Breton as Paul and Lucie, a happily-married couple struggling to cope with Lucie's father Roland's (Gilbert Sicotte) diagnosis with terminal pancreatic cancer. The cast also includes Louise Portal, Bobby Beshro, Brigitte Lafleur, Myriam LeBlanc, Julien Poulin, Mathieu Quesnel, Patrice Robitaille, Genevive Schmidt, Nathaly Thibault, Jasmine Leme and Karine Vanasse.

Rabagliati originally approached Bouvier about adapting either 'Paul Qubec' or 'Paul a un travail d't' for film, because he was a fan of Bouvier's earlier film 'Winter Stories (Histoires d'hiver)'."Matters of life and death; Paul a Quebec, the beloved bande dessinee, comes alive on the big screen with a portrait of a family touched by cancer". 'Montreal Gazette', September 18, 2016. Around the same time as that personal contact, Karine Vanasse and Nathalie Brigitte Bustos, two of the film's producers, approached La Pastque, Rabagliati's publisher, to inquire about optioning film rights to 'Paul Quebec'.[http://www.lapresse.ca/cinema/cinema-quebecois/201509/14/01-4900342-paul-a-quebec-a-limage-de-la-bd.php "Paul Qubec: l'image de la BD"]. 'La Presse', September 14, 2015.

Sicotte won the Qubec Cinma award for Best Actor at the 18th Quebec Cinema Awards.[http://playbackonline.ca/2016/03/21/la-passion-daugustine-wins-big-at-le-gala-due-cinema-quebecois/ "La passion daugustine wins big at Le gala du cinema Quebecois"]. 'Playback', March 21, 2016.
