Elephant

NEW DOCS

Using long, elegantly composed takes juxtaposed with frenetic editing and a percussive soundtrack, this immersive portrait of a simple day in the life of a flock of sheep on a Maine farm is by turn meditative and kinetic. We linger on tactile close-ups of sheep’s wool shortly before it is removed in a frenzy of shearing. But what else does the day have in store? Divided into three short chapters, Elephant offers an intricate, richly textured perspective on the rhythms of nature and the circle of life. PB
