The Beach

I wanted to join him - his cooking alone would be worth the experience. Soul searching and amazing food. .....yes.

Absolutely loved it, laughed out loud, loved his relationship with the chickens, loved his cooking, loved the pace, great documentary. Definitely worth watching.

I have rewatched this so many times. The cinematography captures this man and his experience so well. There is love behind that camera and it shows. The cooking scenes alone, the colours and the use of light is a nice dramatic punctuation throughout this delightfully calming story of reclaiming oneself. So perfect for our time and a reminder to just get in a vehicle, discover the beauty of Australia and simplify. Loved it.

Choose your positive adjective: intriguing, relaxing, affirming, real, grounding, groundbreaking, funny, understated, thought-provoking, appetite-stimulating, nostalgic, wise, riveting. I'm just a guy from Western Canada but I have watched this four times so far and every time I feel better about it. This film is an experience.

PS. I watched it several more times and am still more and more entranced. I grew up in Western Canada and he grew up in Australia. And yet we end up with massively similar sensibilities and a totally compatible idiom. I find that to be fascinating. When I'm a bit too stoked up, I revert to this video. Anyway, I'm gonna motor.

Escape, dream and dream some more... Especially loved the music, still waiting for the soundtrack!
