At Home with Badgers

About This Movie

At Home with Badgers is a fascinating little piece that captures the intimate lives of badgers living close to the director's home. The atmosphere is serene, almost contemplative, as you watch these creatures go about their routines. The pacing is slow, allowing viewers to truly absorb the subtle details of badger behavior and their habitat. Ashby’s observational style feels very personal, giving it a distinct charm that draws you in. The practical effects are, well, non-existent, but that’s part of its appeal; it's raw and unfiltered. There's a certain warmth and familiarity to the film, making it quite engaging, especially for those with a love for wildlife documentaries.

This documentary has a bit of rarity to it, not being widely circulated, and many collectors find its niche appeal quite fascinating. Originally aired as a TV movie, it can be tough to track down on physical media; some fans treasure their VHS copies. It’s not just another nature film; it offers a unique perspective that resonates with a specific audience, making it a curious item for those who appreciate lesser-known documentaries.
