Untold Hours

About This Movie

Untold Hours is this intriguing dive into the world of visual art through the eyes of Alicia Nauta. The film unfolds in nearly a wordless fashion, relying heavily on the percussive soundscapes of John Cage to create its rhythm. It’s not just a behind-the-scenes look; it’s like you’re almost experiencing the creation process yourself. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to soak in the absurdity and labor that goes into artistic creation. There's a unique blend of humor that sneaks up on you, making it feel both personal and expansive. The practical effects, or lack thereof, emphasize the rawness and authenticity of the artist’s journey. It has this distinctive atmosphere that really sets it apart from typical documentaries.
