So, 'Being a Tourist at Home' is this intriguing documentary set in New Chaplino, a remote hamlet in the Arctic. The atmosphere is heavy, you really feel the biting cold of winter—30 degrees below zero, and it shows. The film explores this tension between the village's transformation into a tourist spot and the stark reality of no actual tourists arriving. It captures these haunting images of snow-covered landscapes, sparse human presence, and what it means to be an outsider, even in your own home. The pacing is contemplative, allowing you to soak in the desolation and the memories of better days. There's something raw about the whole experience, almost reflective, that makes it stand apart in the documentary field.
