Un cavalier, un rêve, Boucane

About This Movie

So, 'Un cavalier, un rêve, Boucane' is really a deep dive into the life of Yves Landry, who, at 74, is still in the game, riding and competing with a passion that's palpable. The documentary captures the grit and grace of the Three Day Eventing world, but it’s really about that bond between a man and his horse—Boucane, specifically. The pacing allows you to linger on the quieter moments, letting you feel the weight of years spent in the saddle. There’s a raw authenticity here, with practical effects showcasing the riders and their horses in action, no frills. Yves’ performances—his determination, his vulnerability—stand out. It's distinctive in its focus on a singular relationship rather than the broader competitive scene.
