Bu film hakkında
Jouliks is a 2019 Canadian drama film, directed by Mariloup Wolfe. An adaptation of the theatrical play by Marie-Christine Lê-Huu, the film centres on a bohemian couple, Zak and Véra, who are raising their shy but observant young daughter Yanna as squatters in an abandoned house.
The film faced some criticism from Roma activists, as the word "joulik", a Russian language word for "thug", has often been used as an ethnic slur against Roma people. Lê-Huu clarified that the play and film were not intended to be about Roma, but worked with the community to ensure that anything in the original play which could be perceived as reinforcing a stereotype of the Roma people was rewritten for clarity in the screenplay.
The film had its premiere on October 16, 2019, at the Festival de cinéma québécois de Biscarrosse, followed by a gala screening on October 22 at the Théâtre Maisonneuve in Montreal, before opening commercially on November 1.
