So, 'Six portraits XL: 1 Léon et Guillaume' is one of those documentaries that feels more like a slice of life than just a film. You really get to sit with Léon, the shoe-repair guy, as he faces the closure of his store after forty-six years. There's this palpable sense of community and nostalgia, especially when you see how much he means to the locals. The atmosphere is quite intimate, almost like you're peeking into a family gathering rather than a documentary. The pacing is gentle, letting moments linger. The way the film captures Léon's expressions and the reactions of his customers—it’s the real deal. Not flashy, but there's something raw and poignant about it all.
