Haiku

About This Movie

So, 'Haiku' is a fascinating little piece from 2009, part of that 'Vision du reel' project. Wiseman’s direction has this contemplative quality, it’s like you’re drawn into the subtleties of life, slowly unraveling like a poem, you know? The atmosphere is quiet and introspective, with a pacing that invites reflection rather than demands attention. What stands out is how it weaves mundane moments into something profound, almost transcendent. The practical effects are minimal, but everything feels grounded. It’s not about flashy performances but rather a deep dive into the human experience, and that uniqueness gives it a distinctive place in his oeuvre.

This film is somewhat elusive in collector circles. Originally part of a limited release under the 'Vision du reel' banner, it hasn't seen a wide variety of formats, which might contribute to its scarcity. There’s a niche interest for Wiseman’s work, with collectors often seeking out his lesser-known projects, so this could be a good find for someone looking to broaden their collection with something a bit off the beaten path.
