Thunder river (Places and Monuments 4)

About This Movie

So, 'Thunder River' from the Places and Monuments series is a curious piece, really. It’s animated but not in the traditional sense; it takes you to this rockface by the Rivière au tonnerre — and you can almost feel the weight of the water cascading down. The pacing is deliberate, inviting you to linger on the imagery, to meditate alongside it. There’s this exploration of opacity and fissures, which feels deeply philosophical. It’s like you’re not just watching a film; you’re engaging in a dialogue with nature and meaning. It’s not about flashy visuals or conventional storytelling; it’s more of a quiet contemplation, which might not be for everyone but has its own kind of allure.
