Les raquetteurs


The Snowshoers (1958)

Directed by Michel Brault and Gilles Groulx this is a short documentary from the Canadian film board. We see a snowshoe running competition and the celebrations around it from Sherbrooke.

As a historical record this film may be of some interest as it captures a unique place and point in time. There is not really a narrative to the piece and the content is fairly gentle, it never challenges the viewer. Pretty well made but not overly remarkable I don't think I would find myself recommending this film to anyone.

3/5
