Not as Old as the Trees is a quietly contemplative documentary that dives into the life of Saul, an 80-year-old man who finds solace and adventure in the trees of Hampstead Heath. It’s not just a film about climbing; it’s more about connection—both to nature and to one’s own past. The pacing is leisurely, inviting you to soak in the atmosphere of London’s green spaces while reflecting on aging and solitude. The raw, unpolished quality of Saul's storytelling creates a genuine intimacy that feels hard to find in more polished docs. The visuals are simple yet striking, emphasizing the lushness of the trees and the vibrant life around them. It’s a bit of a gem for those who appreciate the nuances of everyday life captured on film.
