Larose, Pierrot and Luce (French: Larose, Pierrot et la Luce) is a comedy-drama film, directed by Claude Gagnon and released in 1982.[1] The film stars Richard Niquette as Jacques Larose, a man who has returned to his hometown in Quebec following several years working abroad in diplomatic service. Inheriting his grandmother's run-down old house following her death, he decides to enlist his childhood friend Pierrot Joyal (Luc Matte) to help him renovate it and reconnect following their years of having grown apart, only for Pierrot to unexpectedly bring along his girlfriend Luce (Louise Portal), whose free-spirited ways challenge Jacques's desire for order and predictability.[2]
Despite being made in Quebec, the film was a Canadian-Japanese co-production, following Gagnon's success in 1979 with his Japanese-made film Keiko.[3] It was shot in summer 1981, in and around Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec.[4]
The film premiered in Japan in September 1982, and in Quebec in October 1982.[5]
