I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the movie I was hoping it might be (a full length version of Candide Kamera). For those who haven't seen it, it was more of biography of Candide ski career, that had a lot of old footage (hitting Chad's Gap, X-Games, Superpark, etc).

just got mine yesterday. It's fucking spectacular.
I bought it from my local Quik store in SW France. I asked the assistant if they had Candide's new film and the dude was like, who? I very nearly shit the bed. After encouraging this alleged Quiksilver employee to punch himself in the head and then charging around the store screaming at the stop of my voice and throwing shit, I alerted the attention of the store manager that her boy didn't know who Candide was. He, I'm very pleased to report, was summarily fired on the spot and I, relieved, paid 30 of my ill gotten euros for this masterpiece.
It's not 60 minutes of Candide Kamera pretending to be The Art of Flight. It's not trying to be, and it's much better than that. I in general loath listening to surf/snow/ski bros talking in films. With very few exceptions they sound like lobotomized retards trotting out some contrived nonsense.
There is nothing contrived about the story of Candide, mark you. He has one line in the film, and everyone that does speak is very eloquent. This is a story worth telling and it is told well. The seminal moments are worked through brilliantly and without exception are still just as impressive today as they were at the time.
The new footage (there's plenty) is rad. You get the impression that if they'd wanted to they could have made a whole film from it but they only used the creme de la creme. I've also heard talk of more Candide Kamera clips in the future.
Highlights:
-Douglas and Dav losing their shit trying to commentate on his 2003 pipe run.
-Chads. So gnarly and so stylish.
-all of the rest of the movie.
In this day and age of Twitter, Instagram, videoblogs and other associated e-wank, I think it's really refreshing that Candide just fucks off for months on end and then reappears to change the game, only to vanish again.
This will without a doubt be the ski video that I will rewatch the most of all my collection. It's rad too that you could show this to anyone and they'd get it. And yet it isn't cheesy at all. There's a line in the movie about Candide not saying much but instead communicating though the mountains and his riding. Normally that would be the sort of shit that would make me leave the room but in this case it's just spot on.
Do it.

USA finally has it. Getting ready to download now.
You know it's a ski film and French as they described his career as "fabulous". The guy is a ski god, but that is funny.
Watched the first ten min of the best lines I have ever seen on film. unbelievable.Last edited by DasBlunt; 02-06-2013 at 10:04 PM.

there is no "a", just " Few Words" , eh?
Big docudrama, lots of talking. Todd Jones has a huge part, hope he got a good script deal. the Kamera films really had some amazing lines in them.
kid is already a legend. Travis Rice should invite him to the new Red Bull Mega Natural this year just to piss off some park rat rollerblader skiers....that would be amazing.Terje was right.

Wow.
It was worth the wait. The new footage is insane, and the old stuff shows us just how versatile Candide is. One of the best movies I have seen. Best performance this year for sure."Have you ever seen a monk get wildly fucked by a bunch of teenage girls?" "No" "Then forget the monastery."
