Another typical slice-of-life documentary from the NFB, in a similar vein to Colin Low's Children of Fogo. The Rink offers quick snapshots into the lives of the various patrons of the local outdoor ice rink in the 60s. It gives a cozy feeling of Canadiana and sentimental yearning of a simpler time (childhood? The 60s? Depends on your lens), but offers little more.
Not essential NFB viewing by any stretch, but a calming, cozy blanket of a film that leaves you a bit starry eyed and wistful.
