Gina is a Canadian drama film from Quebec, directed by Denys Arcand and released in 1975.^[1] The film stars Celine Lomez as Gina, a stripper who, after being raped in a motel room, hires two criminal thugs to exact her revenge on the rapists.^[2]

Synopsis

Three parallel story lines draw an exploited hotel stripper (Lomez) who is sent to work a small Quebec town, a drunken gang of hell-raising snowmobilers, and a film crew attempting to shoot a political documentary about exploited textile workers (echoing Denys Arcand's own NFB-banned documentary On est au coton), together into a mixture of action, violence against women, and film as a political tool.
