Review of Sweetgrass (2009) by Emily S — 20 Mar 2011
In the same way that "War and Peace" is about Russia, "Sweetgrass" is about sheep. Imagine a documentary without narration, interviews, or music. The filmmaker's goal is to present you with an experience and make you feel that you are there without interpreting the experience for you.
Breathtaking scenery and brutal hard work is the life of the sheepherder. Basically, most of your sheep are not where you want them all of the time. Only scratch-and-sniff cards could have made this movie any better.
Highly recommended for fans of documentaries. Recommended for anyone who'd like a glimpse into a now bygone way of life.
