The United States of Albert (French: Les États-Unis d'Albert) is a Canadian, French and Swiss co-produced comedy-drama film, directed by André Forcier and released in 2005.[1] The film stars Éric Bruneau as Albert Renaud, a young actor in Montreal who dreams of becoming a movie star in Hollywood, and sets off on a road trip across the United States in pursuit of his dreams; en route, he meets a variety of characters including Grace Carson (Émilie Dequenne), a young Mormon woman with whom he falls in love, and Jack Decker (Roy Dupuis), a mentally unstable man who takes Albert golfing in the Arizona desert.[2]

Cast[edit]

Reception[edit]

Brendan Kelly of the Montreal Gazette panned the film, writing that Forcier's decision to cast a mixture of Québécois and European actors resulted in a distracting diversity of accents and that it strained credulity that the American characters Albert met on his trip would all be able to speak French.[2]

Gilles Aird received a Jutra Award nomination for Best Art Direction at the 8th Jutra Awards in 2006.[3] The film was a Lumières Award nominee for Best French-Language Film at the 12th Lumières Awards in 2007.
