About This Movie

So, '2020' by Juha van Ingen is this really unique documentary that feels more like a diary than a typical travel film. It's all shot during March 2020, right when everything started to change with the pandemic. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost meditative, which totally suits the vibe of uncertainty and isolation. You get this mix of beautiful European landscapes and the eerie quietness that came with lockdowns. The practical effects? Well, it’s mostly just real life happening—no frills, just raw footage of empty streets and quiet parks. It's this weird blend of travelogue and reflection on a moment in history. The way it captures the atmosphere—both stunning and haunting—is what really stands out here.
