The Butcher Filmmaker

About This Movie

The Butcher Filmmaker is a quirky blend of comedy and documentary that captures the serene and sometimes absurd life of Roger, an ex-butchering craftsman turned Super 8 filmmaker. It's set against the picturesque backdrop of Beaune, where Roger's fresh lens finds beauty in the mundane—like bugs and birds. The pacing is leisurely, allowing you to soak in the idiosyncratic charm of his new passion. The practical effects are non-existent, which adds to the raw authenticity of his storytelling. Roger’s personality shines through his work, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a warm, odd family gathering with a gentle sense of humor. It’s a reflection on reinvention later in life, with a unique artistic vision that feels very personal.

Interesting take on rural life and creativity.Offers a unique perspective on aging and reinvention.The Super 8 aesthetic lends a nostalgic feel.
