What Is Poetry to You?

About This Movie

What Is Poetry to You? offers a unique lens into the personal and often unguarded reflections of individuals on poetry's place in their lives. Vicuña's approach is both intimate and profound, capturing conversations with children and street performers, making it feel like a spontaneous exploration rather than a structured documentary. The pacing is reflective, allowing viewers to linger on thoughts and emotions associated with poetry. The atmosphere is layered with the tension of post-coup Colombia, which adds a certain weight to the discussions. There’s a rawness in the performances that feels authentic and unrefined—almost like a visual poem in its own right. It's a film that prompts you to reflect on the very essence and importance of words in our daily existence.
