Change of Scenery

About This Movie

Change of Scenery, released in 2015, is a fascinating look at an 87-year-old man's journey through his own lavish renovations. It’s not just about the house; it’s about the man himself. The way he interacts with his visitors reveals layers of personality and history that are so compelling. The pacing feels almost meditative, with long, lingering shots that draw you into the details of his world. The documentary stands out in its ability to blend practical effects—like the actual renovations—into the narrative seamlessly. It’s part of a trilogy, so you get a sense of a larger story unfolding, but this piece really captures the essence of a character who’s seen so much yet still seeks connection. A unique addition to any collection, for sure.
