La pantera delle nevi

A beautiful, sensitive and touching film about our relationship with the natural world and especially the animals. You can feel Vincent Munier's emotions and passion, and how honest and discrete he is in his approach to photographing, observing and filming animals. It's a breath-taking film, showing many special animals with beautiful photography and a really moving soundtrack, with many wise reflections about our disconnect to the natural world and the animals. But also, a bit sad given what we are doing to this amazing natural world. Stay till the end to see the camera trap photos, which are amazing.

The adaptation of Sylvain Tesson's book is an ode for beauty and patience. Are we going to see her or not then our snow leopard? Suspense and no spoil. (But I assure you panther or not the animals are there and it is magnificent). 8/10.

This truly magnificent testimony of some of the most intimate aspects of wildlife is surely a wonderful gift for human audiences all over the globe.

It shares with us a way on its own to be touched and mesmerised by the absolute beauty, the strength and the wisdom of Nature.

This 1 hour 30 minutes audiovisual journey through the valley of lights and shadows in Tibet's Himalaya Chain isn't just unforgettable. Somehow, it is much much more: All these encounters/discoveries are still the irrefutable proof how badly our World needs us to respect it in every inch of its purest designs to be able to exist as a whole... They "still" are... and isn't this respect the most obvious (only?) way for us humans to conceivably claim a legetimate right for our future life on Earth? In peace, harmony and respect with the whole World and every kind of natural environment? I believe it is!

Enjoy this haunting ride at the far end of the World: Your own deep human nature will be grateful! Thank you Vincent, Marie and Sylvain.

Not just a documentary, but an experience.

One of the most beautiful films about our planet I've ever seen. The Velvet Queen is perfect mix between wildlife and human experience.

Is you have the chance to see this masterpiece in a movie theatre please don't miss it.

You could call this "watching two men take photos in the snow". It's long and slow in parts.

The animals get very little airtime. The snow leopards are elusive until the end. Then it's barely 5 minutes worth.

I know that's the point of it, but overall it's a frustrating experience. I didn't enjoy seeing the night vision.

They have dinner with the locals, and let the kids play with their gear. But we don't hear from the locals or see their daily life.

Two people walked out of the cinema half way through.

The music was good and atmospheric. The footage was hit and miss. I felt like they needed to go back a couple more times for better footage.
