Gubben i stugan

3 reviews
9/10

The most relaxing movie ever.

Gubben i stugan is the most relaxing film I have ever seen. It's a documentary about an old man living in his cabin out in the woods. We get to follow his daily life through out all seasons of the year, without any interference from commentators, sudden cuts. Not even the old man says anything. It's not like every other documentary, it is better.

relaxing

Like stated below, this is one relaxing documentary. No commentary, no speaker, no nothing. Just the old man and his daily chores in his little red house. Watching this is like balm for your soul. Since it lacks any kind of language, written or spoken, it is suitable for all kinds of audiences, no matter nationality or age. I loved the tempo of this documentary. It's opposite of fast-paced, yet gripping at all times. It has somewhat of the same intense, slow, sensation that comes from watching, well, perhaps an Miyasaki movie. All his mundane chores, in breathtakingly simple photography... Like I said, balm for your soul!

The best documentary ever made?

Well, I don't know it this can be classified as a documentary only.

But I think it must be the best "movie" ever made, no matter how you classify it.

It has everything that the modern movie industry has not.

It has the most wonderful screen shots you can imagine, with some of the world's most amazing scenery.

It has not a single script line spoken (just some occasional radio sound).

Just imagine making a 90 minute film without anyone talking -- just some of the most amazing shots you can thing of.

How much better can a 90 minute flick be?

Just sit back and watch how you are taken from the Big City of Stockholm and gradually via smaller and smaller roads to the little red cottage in the woods. And then, a year later, you'll be taken back to the big city via gradually bigger roads.

If this isn't Oscar material, I don't know what really is...
