Cosmos is a Canadian drama film, released in 1996.
The film, made by a collective of then-emerging young directors, was considered an unofficial sequel to Montreal Stories (Montréal vu par...), a 1991 anthology film by six more established filmmakers.[1]
The film was Canada's
Best Foreign Language Film, but did not make the shortlist.[2][3] It was also a shortlisted nominee for Best Motion Picture at the 18th Genie Awards, but lost to The Sweet Hereafter.[4]
