Extremely Beautiful Landscapes is a fascinating dive into the life and work of Takuma Nakahira, a figure pivotal to the 60s photojournalism scene. The documentary unfolds with a rawness that echoes Nakahira's own rejection of conventional photographic norms. The pacing is reflective, almost meditative, allowing viewers to soak in the stark contrasts of his work. It touches on memory and identity, particularly through Nakahira's struggles post-coma. The atmosphere is both nostalgic and somber, effectively using archival footage and interviews that feel intimate. It's not just about photography; it's about the tension between art and reality, and how one man's journey through loss shapes his lens on the world.
