Latxa

About This Movie

So, 'Latxa' is this documentary that really dives into the life of Alba, the last farmer producing Latxa sheep cheese. It’s got a very intimate feel, you know? The pacing is slow, almost meditative, which allows you to soak in the landscapes and the rhythms of rural farming life. You get a real sense of Alba's connection to her sheep and the traditional methods she uses. The atmosphere is rich with the sounds of nature, and the visuals are stunning, showcasing not just the cheese-making but also the beautiful Basque country. It's distinctive in how it highlights the struggle against modernity while celebrating artisanal practices. A bit of a love letter to both the land and the craft, really.
