Crac - Frederic Back (1981)
Based on a book by Ghylaine Paquin-Back
Illustrations by Frederic Back
The story of a family's rocking chair, a fixture of Quebec homes for generations, becomes the story of a changing society. As the farmer who carved it gradually ages, the rocker moves from his workshop to the parlour, then to the bedroom and the kitchen of their home, always a part of the family's activities. We watch with him as time and urbanization transform the landscape and traditional life of rural Quebec. Written by Frédéric Back's wife, Ghylaine Paquin-Back, the book is based on the filmCrac!, which won a score of awards, including an Oscar® for best animated film in 1982.
