1981, longer title 1981: L'année où je suis devenu un menteur (1981: The Year I Became a Liar), is a 2009 Canadian-French language comedy-drama film from Quebec written and directed by Ricardo Trogi. It was released on September 4, 2009. The film is autobiographical about the youth years of the director as told by him during the film.[1]

The film was the first in what is, as of 2024, a tetralogy of semi-autobigraphical films about Trogi's life, followed by 1987, 1991 and 1995.[2]
