The Keeper of Herds is this intimate documentary that pulls you into the daily rhythm of a goat herding family in Portugal. It's a slow burn, really, with its pacing reflecting the unhurried life of the herders and their animals. The cinematography is quite striking; you feel the landscape almost breathe alongside the goats. There's this raw authenticity in the performances, capturing genuine moments of connection between the family and their herd. It doesn’t shy away from showing the hard work involved, but also the deep respect they have for their livestock. It’s distinctive in how it portrays the bond between man and animal without resorting to overly sentimental tropes.
