Boatman

1985 · 110 min Drama
4.2 / 10 · TMDB

An erstwhile boatman wants to do a little more than paddle his own canoe in the town famed for its waterfalls. He leaves the village of his roots for the city and lands a job as a live-sex actor called toro in street lingo derived from the Spanish term for bull. Quick successes in his newfound profession delude him into regarding that the measure of a man is in his trousers. He has a partner on stage and off. Despite her cynicism and tough veneer, she sees in him a way out of the slums and the red light district.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Boatman is an acquired taste at 4.2/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A classic from 1985. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
