Few Words - A Candide Thovex Film - Full movie

Few Words is film profiling the living legend of Candide Thovex. It explores the early days of Candide's career at his home resort of La Clusaz to present day. It is aptly titled because the frenchmen literally says very few words throughout the duration of the film. My only complaint is some of the interviews with family and friends are only in French with no subtitles, but maybe this is my ignorance as a dumb American. Either way put on the headphones, hide from your boss, and spend an hour with an ski icon. 

You can get English subs on this just turn on CC on youtube and then settings French to English.

One of the greatest ski films ever featuring one of the greatest skiers ever.  Totally inspiring.  FYI the blurb for the film isn’t quite right, Candide’s home area is La Clusaz (the Massif de Balme is one of the mountains in the resort), a great area not that well known in the US.  Lots of footage in the film shot there, also his “One of Those Days” helmet cam videos shot there Enjoy!

YES! Still remember shitting myself at Boreal when I got to see him ski IN PERSON a few years ago. Even all the pros that were there all stopped skiing whenever he was about to drop. Was like watching Michael Jordan play for the Bulls. [Bowing]
