The Death of a Lumberjack (French: La Mort d'un bûcheron) is a 1973 Canadian drama film directed by Gilles Carle. It was entered into the 1973 Cannes Film Festival.
A young woman (Carole Laure) from rural Quebec comes to Montreal to find out the whereabouts of her father. She takes a job as a topless cowgirl singer in a nightclub owned by Armand (Willie Lamothe). Through her father’s mistress, Blanche (Denise Filiatrault), she discovers he was working in a lumberjack camp and travels with Armand and Blanche to find him; however, it turns out he has been murdered by the camp’s owners.
The Death of a Lumberjack is one of director Gilles Carle's better films, admired in Quebec, although it’s virtually unknown in the rest of Canada. It won Canadian Film Awards for Supporting Actor (Lamothe) and Musical Score.
