description This article deals with the cultural presence of comic actor Gilles Latulippe in Quebec during the Quiet Revolution. It focuses on Pousse mais pousse égal, a film neglected in the history of cinema of Quebec, in which Latulippe starred. Despite the actor’s exclusion from a national history of cinema, we seek to understand the part he played in the process of developing a sense of belonging to this "imagined community" that is the Quebec nation. We believe that this popular comedy, sparkling with humour, acted as a catalyst enabling the constitution of a founding culture by proposing an experience of Quebec vernacular modernity.
