3/5

Viewers with an appetite for the purer variants of slow cinema - think Two Years At Sea and Le Quattro Volte - will find plenty to savour in this patient Italian documentary.

4/5

Austere, meditative, inscrutable, fascinating - Hand Gestures is the kind of documentary that is made all too rarely in this age of spoonfed soundbites and burbling talking heads.

1/5

Long at 77 minutes, Hand Gestures succeeds only in conveying and recreating the laboriousness of the labours it documents.
