8/10
Unbelievably spectacular film about skiïng, more than worth seeing!
10 May 1999
Although made in 1931, this film is still astonishing today. The story is extremely simple. Leni, a daring young girl, is visiting for the second time a ski-resort. The local ski-teatchers agree to organise a "fox-hunt" for her. Leni and Hannes are "the foxes", and about 40 other skiers will have to catch them, starting with a 15 minutes delay. It's not the story that makes this film, but the extremely spectacular, thrilling shots about ski. How many crew members and figurants broke their bones in making this picture ? is a question every specator will ask himself ! On the other hand, the film also reveals us the beauty and the delight of ski, like only a genuine black&white picture could do! If you have the chance to see this picture, don't miss it: you won't regret, even if you are not in the least interested in ski or sports.
