The Garden is this fascinating documentary that dives into a forgotten backyard in Monteverde, Rome. It has this almost surreal atmosphere, especially considering it was filmed during the early days of the COVID-19 lockdown. There’s a certain stillness that permeates the film, almost like time stands still. You really get a sense of the space’s potential through the eyes of a permanent resident who dreams of what it could be. It’s not just about the visual beauty of the garden, but also the themes of community, isolation, and the resilience of nature. The pacing is contemplative, inviting you to reflect rather than rush. A unique piece that feels very much like a personal diary, capturing a moment in time that resonates in a quiet but profound way.
