In the Beginning There Was Light

About This Movie

So, this documentary, 'In the Beginning There Was Light,' dives into Breatharianism, which is a pretty wild concept. The pace is contemplative, almost meditative, as it weaves together interviews and personal stories from those who claim to live without food. The atmosphere feels a bit surreal, with some segments almost dreamlike, which fits the subject matter. It's not flashy or overproduced, relying more on its subjects and their experiences than on any sort of bombastic visuals. The practical effects are minimal, but that adds to the authenticity, letting the stories speak for themselves. It’s a unique exploration of belief and the human experience, and you kind of wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes.
