Bestiaries, Herbaria, Lapidaries

About This Movie

So, there's this documentary titled «Bestiaries, Herbaria, Lapidaries», and it's pretty unique. It’s split into three volumes, each one zeroing in on animals, plants, and stones—like an exploration of our world through the lens of non-human entities. The pacing really allows you to soak in the details, and there's this almost meditative quality that hangs in the air. The visuals? Stunning. They manage to capture the essence of their subjects in a way that speaks volumes without a lot of dialogue. The segments feel like odes, really, to each category, showcasing not just their beauty but also their narratives in relation to humanity. Quite a distinct perspective on nature and our role in it.
