So, 'Splinters - A Century of an Artistic Family' is this fascinating documentary by Peter von Bagh exploring Juhani Aho and his circle. The film has this contemplative tone, really digging into the nuances of Aho's life and the artistic legacy he's part of. The pacing is leisurely, giving you time to soak in the atmosphere of early 20th-century Finland. You see how Aho's work intertwines with the lives around him, and it’s interesting how the film balances personal reflection with broader cultural themes. It’s not flashy, but it feels very grounded. The performances, if you can call them that, come from the archival footage and interviews, and they bring a real sense of intimacy that’s pretty distinctive for a doc like this.
