The Skiff of Renald and Thomas

1980 · 58 min Documentary

Five men work together in a communal effort to build a skiff on Ile-aux-Coudres, an island in the St. Lawrence River. It is built in a traditional fashion, all the more remarkable because no blueprint is used. The film does not merely record a building tradition, it reveals the character of the craftsmen, who are influenced by a pre-industrial way of life underscored by spontaneity and wit.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The Skiff of Renald and Thomas is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. 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 1980. 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.
