Review of Manakamana (2013) by Antti Q — 02 Feb 2014

How do you rate something like this? It's 11 eightish minute non-stop shots of people (or goat's ass) riding a cable car to/from a temple in Nepal. And most of them are quiet. There is as much action in the documentary as there is on a deserted island, but then again, you wouldn't go to a deserted island for the action. It is interesting to monitor people being alone and themselves, but have to admit, it could've been a tad shorter..

Before the screening there was a short meditation session that set the mood for the next 2 hours.
