Prehistories

About This Movie

So, 'Prehistories' is an interesting piece, really. It zips you through this blend of fantasy and a kind of historical reverie. You’ve got the backdrop of the Pont d’Arc and the Chauvet cave, which is just visually stunning. The film takes its time, almost like a slow drift down the Ardèche river, weaving through these moments of canoeing and cave exploration. The musical elements are intriguing, adding layers that play with the atmosphere—like a dreamscape. There’s a sense of wonder mixed with nostalgia, I think, and it invites you to reflect on our connection to the past. It’s not about flashy effects but rather a grounding in the experience of the land and history, which is what makes it stand out.
