Face pictures, deep powder, large mountains, masterful freestyle, and tasteful Black Crows product placement. You’ll discover all of it and extra within the noire-style quick ‘WOLF’ by Sam Favret.
We’ve all received interior monologues after we’re out on the slopes snowboarding and snowboarding. Often that voice talks about your day, your life, your to-do listing. Sometimes it will get misplaced within the second, solely whispering instructions or reacting to the second. Sometimes it’s screaming, “This is freaking awesome!”
The interior monologue of Sam Favret runs a bit of deeper, although. And within the quick ski movie “WOLF” (by Sam Favret), we get a style of his darkish and moody mind set.
“Everything seems normal,” Favret grumbled over black-and-white footage of him completely tearing it up in shoulder-deep powder. “Why then, do I feel like I’ve lost the signal?”
WOLF carries on like that, with Favret’s voice brooding over his ineffable mindset as we watch him blowing by powder fields and ripping down enormous mountain faces. The ski movie has a distinctly noire really feel to it, as if Sin City and Warren Miller collided on the slopes, fusing collectively and creating one thing new — a sense — a monster — a WOLF.
It’s so severe, at instances, the monologue feels a bit of bit like parody.
“I brave far greater things than myself,” he says, at one level. “Streams, memories, the park.”
Indeed, Favret is braving quite a bit in WOLF — all on his trusty Black Crows skis (on distinguished show all through the movie). It’s a wild experience. And a good way to burn 4 minutes, in case you’ve received the time. As far as ski shorts go, they don’t get a lot better than this.
