Title: 'documentary'is accessible meditation on human condition
Product review: I guess this movie is a documentary - it features four (probably real) men speaking about their work. Footage of the men speaking directly to the camera is interwoven with images of them doing their work. There are other kinds of images as well, from cartoons and old movies.The men describe their work with the noblest, loveliest geekiness. The are absorbed, fascinated, knowledgeable and sincere about what they do. The details are compelling.The film moves among the men, gathering their words and images and combining them in a new way. With humor and emotional immediacy, all human endeavor is called into question, with special attention to our complicated relationship with nature, our desire for life after death, and believe it or not folks, what it means to be alive.
