The Eternal Traveller is quite a unique documentary that captures this quiet journey of self-discovery. Masato Hara and his teenage son take off on a sort of pilgrimage, tracing Basho's famous route. It's not flashy or overly dramatic, yet there’s this raw intimacy in their conversations and the landscape around them. The pacing is unhurried, allowing you to really soak in the intricacies of their surroundings and the relationship between father and son. The practical effects are nonexistent, but the reality they depict feels almost otherworldly in its authenticity. It’s less about the destination and more about the moments in between – the little discoveries and reflections that come from being on the road together. Definitely an interesting watch for anyone who appreciates a more meditative approach to storytelling.
