Homo Sapiens

About This Movie

Homo Sapiens is an intriguing piece that strips away traditional narrative to leave you with an almost meditative experience. It’s all about the silence, really, as Bob Hansson’s poetry unfolds against the haunting sounds of Flesh Quartet. The visuals by Jesper Klevenås add a haunting quality, grounding the ethereal audio in a tangible reality. The pacing is deliberate and slow, encouraging reflection rather than engagement. It’s not your average film; rather, it feels more like an installation piece that invites viewers to contemplate existence itself, challenging the conventional expectations of cinema. Very distinctive in its approach, it may not appeal to everyone, but there's a certain allure in its quietude and starkness.

This film is quite rare in collector circles, often overshadowed by more conventional releases. It’s typically found in niche collections focused on experimental cinema or poetry film. Formats are limited, with few editions in circulation, making it a point of interest for collectors who appreciate the avant-garde. Its scarcity and unique artistic vision contribute to growing interest within certain collector communities.
