Gerry (2011 film)

Gerry is a 2011 biographical film shot in Quebec about rock singer Gerry Boulet (1946-1990) from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec written by Nathalie Petrowski and directed by Alain DesRochers.

The live concert scene where Boulet and his band Offenbach perform in Montreal Forum required the presence of 3000 spectators.

The film was premiered in Boulet's home town Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu on 30 May 2011[1] and launched on Quebec movie theatres on 15 June 2011.

After many years, Offenbach disbanded and Boulet started a solo career with great success in Québec.

After many years of drug and alcohol abuse, he was diagnosed with colon cancer and died in 1990, at the age of 44.
