Audience Member http://hivernomade.ch/ Ce film documentaire suit Pascal et Carole lors d'une transhumance hivernale en Suisse avec les 800 moutons dont ils ont la charge. Pour les accompagner, 3 ânes, 3 chiens et un chiot. Et tout le matériel nécessaire à leurs nuits, leurs repas et leur voyage. La caméra se fait discrète et sans commentaire. Elle nous laisse spectateurs de leurs journées et de leurs rencontres, souvent curieuses et parfois hostiles. On s'émerveille devant les grands paysages de la nature Suisse, et on admire la ténacité des bergers devant les conditions de vie pas simples qu'ils ont choisies et devant l'amour qu'ils portent à leur travail. Un bel exemple de métier traditionnel qui persiste dans notre monde moderne grâce à ces passionnés. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Subtle and wonderous Swiss documentary, following a pair of shepherds as they lead their 800 sheep through valleys during winter. You are there, following them through four months. Told without interviews, narration and barely any expositional conversations, the camera just becomes another one of the flock. We walk with the two through snowy meadows and country roads as they look for fields in which to graze their sheep. We smell the campfires at night and share their watchfulness as they sit and watch the sheep graze in the afternoons. Simple, touching, beautiful. People come into the lives of the shepherds briefly, brightening up the setting with moments of shared food and conversation. Perfect for maintaining the right pace and providing contrast to the quiet life of these two. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
