About This Movie

Grimsel (1990) is an intriguing documentary that takes a deep dive into the controversial Grimsel-West project in the Hasli Valley. The director remains a mystery, which adds a layer of intrigue to the viewing experience. It's fascinating how the film captures the essence of environmental opposition against the backdrop of hydroelectric expansion. The pacing feels contemplative, almost meditative, as it explores the tension between progress and preservation. There's an authenticity in its practical effects, like the raw imagery of the valley and the stark beauty of nature, juxtaposed with the encroaching industrialization. The interviews are heartfelt, giving a voice to those who fear the loss of their home. A unique piece for collectors interested in environmental themes and grassroots activism in cinema.
