Know Yourself

About This Movie

So, 'Know Yourself' from 1985—it's a real curiosity. This documentary dives deep into the moral underpinnings of Socrates' philosophy. The pacing feels introspective, almost meditative; it really encourages you to sit back and reflect while you watch. It’s not flashy, but the tone is earnest and contemplative. It primarily relies on interviews and philosophical discussions, which gives it a raw, academic feel. There’s a distinct lack of modern gloss, which some might find refreshing. It’s not about grand visuals; it’s those ideas that linger. If you’re into philosophy or historical documentaries, this one stands out for its straightforward yet profound exploration of self-knowledge and virtue. A solid find for those collectors who appreciate the cerebral side of cinema.
