Does Anyone Ever Really Quit? is this intriguing documentary that taps into the quirky world of a bear named Joaquin at Beardsley Zoo. Shot in 2003, it feels very much like a personal project, exploring not just animal behavior but also the emotional resonance of obsession. The pacing is contemplative, with long takes that let the viewer really soak in Joaquin's routines. There’s a certain rawness in the cinematography and sound design, making it almost meditative at times. It evokes memories of those early experimental films that were more about mood than message. It’s distinctive in how it melds the mundane with the profound, reminding us that even in a zoo, there’s an underlying narrative that speaks to us all.
