Taureau is a Canadian drama film, directed by Clément Perron and released in 1973.[1] The film centres on the Gilberts, a family in a small town in the Beauce region of Quebec who become a target of social ostracism when their intellectually slow but physically strong and handsome son Taureau (André Melançon) initiates a relationship with Denise (Michèle Magny), the town school teacher.[2]
The film was Perron's first solo-directed narrative fiction feature, following a career principally making documentary films.[3]
The cast also includes Monique Lepage, Béatrice Picard, Marcel Sabourin, Yvon Thiboutot, Amulette Garneau, Louise Portal, André Cartier, Yvan Canuel, Jacques Bilodeau, Marguerite Lemir, Denis Drouin, Anne Létourneau, Marthe Mercure, Edgar Fruitier, Bonfield Marcoux and Pat Gagnon.
