About This Movie

So, 'Flare - A Ski Trip' is this neat little documentary from 1977 directed by Sam Neill. It's got this laid-back vibe that really captures the essence of freestyle skiing, you know? The cinematography is pretty raw, showcasing the beauty of New Zealand's slopes and the thrill of the sport. There's an interesting mix of athletes just doing their thing, and you feel that sense of freedom. Plus, it's made for the New Zealand Tourist and Publicity Department, so there's this element of promoting the culture and landscape, which is a bit of a rarity for documentaries from that era. The pacing is nice – not rushed, just letting you soak in the scenery and the action.
