A film about, and told from the perspective of, a goat herder, a goat, and a tree. Without any dialog, and without any thundery bullshit, it effectively conveys how every living thing is connected. Beautiful to look at and surprisingly deep, writer/director Michelangelo Frammartino stages elaborate long takes, each one serene yet packed with visual details. And at 90 minutes, it left me wanting more, a rare occurrence (I've noticed that running times have been getting mercifully shorter lately). This will either bore you or mesmerize you, depending on your nature. I thought it was lovely.
