Armand Rouiller, Sledge-maker is a fascinating glimpse into an almost forgotten craft. The film captures the quiet life of Rouiller, an 80-year-old mountain peasant, as he meticulously handcrafts sledges and tools. The atmosphere is steeped in the rustic charm of his surroundings, with the sounds of wood being shaped and the serene beauty of nature. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to appreciate the labor and skill involved. Themes of tradition and generational knowledge are beautifully explored here. It's not flashy, but the authenticity of Rouiller's work shines through, making each moment resonate. There's something profoundly moving about witnessing a life devoted to craftsmanship, a real testament to a way of living that feels increasingly rare.
