Midi

About This Movie

Midi (1985) is an intriguing documentary that captures the director's personal reflections during a trip to southern France. The film has this intimate, almost diary-like quality, where you feel like you're peeking into someone's private thoughts. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to soak in the landscapes and local culture, which is beautifully shot. There aren’t flashy special effects or dramatic reenactments; instead, it relies on practical visuals and raw moments that draw you in. You get a sense of the atmosphere, the sounds, and even the scents of the region. It’s distinct in its simplicity, really, almost like a window into a different time and place, with an honest authenticity that can be hard to find in more commercial works.
