The 3 L'il Pigs
The 3 L'il Pigs (French: Les 3 p'tits cochons) is a 2007 Canadian French-language comedy film.[1] The directorial debut of comedian and actor Patrick Huard, it was the top-grossing Canadian film of 2007, winning both the Golden Reel Award at the 28th Genie Awards[2] and the Billet d'or at the Jutra Awards.[3] PlotTwo brothers (Legault, Lemay-Thivierge) discuss the positive and negative aspects of adultery as their mother lies beside them in a coma, while their brother Rémi (Doucet) attempts to discourage them. Their conversations become more explicit as time passes. A scene in the film reveals that Rémi is bisexual and in the closet, a storyline which is explored in more depth in the sequel.
