Compostelle, le chemin de la vie
The pilgrimage to Compostela is an experience that attracts more and more people. The pilgrim is led to go beyond his limits, to confront himself and his environment. The trials are physical, but above all psychological. The director followed the journey of several pilgrims for 3 years. None of their paths are the same. Step by step a new rhythm of life sets in, offering new perceptions. The repeated contact with nature, the elements and other pilgrims puts each personality in its rightful place. The alchemy of the path operates little by little. Old clothes facing the setting sun. The old man disappears to give birth to the new man.

As Good As It Gets
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
You need patience to sit through this 98 minutes documentary. The director choose to tell the stories of the ' caminante' without filming them at close range. Their voices can be heard, while fragments of their story pass by. Slowly you start to recognize them, the woman in constant anger, the man who lost his job, the man walking with his violin. MEanwhile romantic shots of nature pass by, making this a true cinematic experience. The cows in the early morning, deer, birds on a branch. Great views, when people walk through villages, on their way to the next stop, climbing the hills, looking down on the village they left that early morning. Somehow you get the feeling this is all going nowhere, but this shows that we, unlike the brave caminantes, are used plan and finish everything in our daily lives. Sure, it can be busy on the tracks, you have to get in early, if you need a bed in the pensions. But the docu also shows the other side, busy roads, burning heat and no shadow, the man that barely survived a heart attack. Not a story that explains everything, but an impression. Like a painting.
