Title: A day in the life of Sokolo
Product review: "Life on Earth" is a wondrously lyrical wandering through the lives of people in Sokolo, Sissako, Mali. In order to fully appreciate it, one needs to know beforehand that there is no story line. We meet a number of people, and get to "know" them a bit as they go through the day.....and some, we never know (e.g., the group of men who walk into town). This is a film to be savored, again and again, for the outstanding cinematography and sense of place and time. Little touches such as the inexorable movement of the sun that causes a group of men to move their chairs closer to a shading wall, and again closer, are truly remarkable. Keep this one on your wish list and grab it when it once again becomes affordable!
