The Man from Glengarry

1922 · 60 min

A solemn silent-era melodrama of feuds and river peril, earnest and slow, with stark moral stakes and little lightness.

Overview: Heads of rival lumber camps meet in a fight. Louis Lenoir, a renegade French Canadian, causes the death of "Big" MacDonald, a hard-fighting Scotsman whose life is guided by his dogmatic religious beliefs. His son, Ranald, is left to settle the blood feud. In spite of the pleas of his sweetheart, the daughter of a minister, he participates in a gang fight on the logs in mid-river just as a log drive to Ottawa begins.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic, tense and dark. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Revenge, faith, family, redemption
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
