Living Among the Living

About This Movie

Living Among the Living is a thought-provoking documentary that centers around the disconnect between humans and the natural world, a theme that's pretty timely given today's environmental debates. The film features philosophers Viciane Despret and Baptiste Morizot, who engage in these deep discussions about animal agency and our often narrow views. There's something interesting about how the film paces these conversations, it doesn’t rush through topics but gives viewers space to think. The presence of the dog A, almost like a silent observer, adds a layer of warmth and poignancy. It’s not flashy or over-produced, but it feels very grounded and honest in its approach - just a real exploration of a pressing issue.

Focus on themes of animal agency and environmental disconnect.Engaging philosophical discussions that unfold slowly.Grounded atmosphere with a unique canine presence.
