Once upon a time there were hundreds of beavers. And once upon a time there was a man. The man became a hero. The hero became a legend. And the legend became a worldwide phenomenon. Playing to a sold out crowd in 2023 at Film Streams and requiring a second screening to be added, this surreal, slapstick, epic winter comedy is a gloriously unhinged masterpiece of independent filmmaking. You gotta see it to believe it
In this 19th-century supernatural winter epic, a drunken applejack salesman must go from zero to hero and become North America's greatest fur trapper by defeating hundreds of beavers.
Reviews "This is a rare movie that invents its own incredibly specific kind of visual language and expects the audience to study it and become fluent (and by the end, they have)." – Roger Ebert
