SHEPHERDS

Following a medical wake-up call, Montréal copywriter Mathyas Lefebure abandons his life in Canada to reinvent himself as a sheep herder in the French Alps. After a rough start, he’s joined by Élise, a civil servant tempted by his stories of pastoral life, and together they commit to a summer on the mountainside. Sophie Deraspe’s naturalistic, beautiful adaptation of the real-life Lefebure’s 2006 book is clear-eyed about the messy and often brutal realities of a shepherding life, while also allowing us to see the wondrous spectacle that draws people to work on the land. 113 minutes
