Closed in May 2000 as Cineplex Odeon chose not to spend the 1,500,000 to make the theatre wheelchair accessible. Grand opening ad:
Cinémas du Complexe Desjardins Ouvrent 30 Apr 1976, Fri Le Devoir (Montreal, Quebec, Canada) Newspapers.com
The decor of the auditoriums was marvelous. I was here a few times, but I especially remember going to see the French-Canadian film “Leolo” in July, 1992. Directed by the late Jean-Claude Lauzon, it had caused some minor scandal, I believe, when shown at Cannes. It had not yet opened in the U.S., so I watched it here (with no English subtitles) despite my only rudimentary knowledge of French. I was absolutely overwhelmed by it, despite my not understanding all the dialog. Today “Leolo” remains one of my favorite films of the 1990s and I consider it a masterpiece.
Became offices of CNESST on June 11th, 2018.
Cela a ouvert le 30 Avril 1976. Son journal ouverture annonce peut être trouvée dans la section de photo pour ce cinéma.
This was opened in 1976 by France-Film, which was taken over by Cineplex Odeon in 1984
