An Austrian astronomer named Karl who has been re-evaluating his work and life after turning 70, and who travels to a mountaintop on a Greek island in search of the darkest sky against which to view the cosmos.

Feels spiritually nourishing in a way few films can manage.

Slant Magazine

The film adopts a diaristic, epistolary form that flattens its emotional topography.

Rated: 2/4

Reflects the constant presence of the unknown in our lives as a reminder to seize solitude amid the bustle of everyday existence, to be quiet and still, to look up and consider the universe.

"questions...about cosmic expanse emerge in sharp relief to ones about terrestrial minutiae, all asked by deeply curious people with an implicit but shared melancholy for a world precariously balanced on the edge of catastrophe and loss.

It’s unlikely that Little, Big, and Far will win any new converts who were dissatisfied with Jem Cohen’s previous material, but as an intro to his work, you really can’t go wrong here.

You could just listen to it or just watch it, and have a great experience either way. With both, it feels transcendent.
