# Le confort et l'indifférence (1981)

1981 · 109 min · Documentary · Canada

Original title: Le Confort et l'indifférence

## Synopsis

Comfort and Indifference is a 1982 documentary film by Denys Arcand, offering an analysis of the 1980 Quebec referendum, in which "sovereignty-association" was defeated as a first step to eventual secession from Canada. The film takes the position that the referendum result was a failure of courage and that the Québécois were numbed by prosperity and the explicitly Machiavellian manipulations of federalist leaders.
