The pacing is contemplative, almost meditative, as it meanders through memories and reflections.

You can sense his struggle with nature, which is made all the more tangible through the practical effects he employs. It’s a film that resonates with anyone who’s ever tried to capture the ineffable. It’s not just a documentary; it’s a meditation on art and existence.
