Not only are the visuals outstanding, but the aural soundscape is astounding. Make sure you watch with surround sound.

It turns an ecology lesson, and an account of a noble, steadfast, single-minded pursuit, into art.

Geographies of Solitude is an organic balancing act between the more conventional documentary forms... and something weirder and wilder... altogether.

What She Said

Filmmaker Jacqueline Mills uses a “contact mic” which enables us to hear the constant buzz of life – in wood, insects crawling up a plant – fascinating. Consider how lucky we are to be able to explore Sable Island for 90 minutes.

Rated: 4/4
