Trouble-Maker (French: Trouble fête) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Pierre Patry and released in 1964.[1]
The film stars Lucien Hamelin as Lucien, a student at a religious school who begins to rebel against the strict moral order of the Roman Catholic priests.[2]
It was made over 25 days on a shoestring budget,[1] and adapted some aspects of the direct cinema style of filmmaking.[1] The film is typically analyzed by critics as an allegory for the Quiet Revolution,[2] although its criticism of the Catholic church saw Patry threatened with excommunication.[3]
The film was a Canadian Film Award finalist for Best Motion Picture in 1964.[4]
