Brian Johnson of Maclean’s reports that Denys Arcand considers his new film, L’Âge des ténèbres AKA The Age of Innocence AKA Days of Darkness, to be “the final chapter in a trilogy that includes Decline of the American Empire and The Barbarian Invasions.” That’s interesting, because The Barbarian Invasions (2003) features characters from both Decline of the American Empire (1986) and Jesus of Montreal (1989), so I have always seen that film as the concluding chapter of a sort of informal trilogy.
