Bhutan: Following in the Footsteps of Matthieu Ricard

About This Movie

So, 'Bhutan: Following in the Footsteps of Matthieu Ricard' is this intriguing documentary where you dive back into the world of Matthieu Ricard, a Buddhist monk and photographer. It’s contemplative, reflecting on his decade in Bhutan after a seven-year hiatus. The pacing is gentle, almost meditative, which seems fitting for the themes of nostalgia and connection to place. You really get a feel for the stunning landscapes and the deep-rooted local traditions that are presented in a way that feels very authentic. The cinematography is nice too—captures the essence of Bhutan effortlessly. It’s different from other travel docs; it’s less about exploration and more about revisiting and reflecting on a personal journey. Quite distinct in that regard.
