New 2K restoration

A country pastor is shot by an unknown gunman in the middle of his homily. This is John Doherty, alias the Canardeur, a repentant robber, famous for his handling of the 20 mm cannon. His former accomplices seek to kill him, mistakenly believing that the latter vanished a few years earlier with the money from a heist. In his escape, the Canardeur meets the young and fiery Pied-de-biche, who quickly takes a liking to him...

The first film by Michael Cimino ( La Porte du paradis ), Le Canardeur inherits as much from the work of John Ford for its large spaces as from that, drier, of Sam Peckinpah. In the heart of Montana, Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges camp an unforgettable duo of crooks. Both a road movie and a heist film, Le Canardeur is an exceptional film, available for the first time in its restored 2K version!
