A film about car lift rides on the

A film about car lift rides on the way up to the known temple. It's really one of the most simple films to do. Just place a camera in a car lift, capture the entire ride and wait for a new ride. We get talking along the third ride, and since I have learned that the most noisy tower is indicating that they are almost there I guess that ride number three is nearly done too. Inspirational and very sedative film. A beautiful documentary but first of all a geniously simple documentary. We get old people, younger people. Some silent, some talkative. My favorite "rides" are the rock dudes with cameras and a kitten and the ice-cream eaters was my favorite, but the ride with the dudes playing those kick ass instruments was the most magical one. 7.5 out of 10 popped ears.

Manakamana is a Hindu temple in Nepal that

Manakamana is a Hindu temple in Nepal that people visit and make offerings or sacrifices. There's a cable car that takes people up to the temple. For the first half of this documentary, people take the cable car up to the temple. In the second half, people take the cable car down. That is quite literally all that happens. People are filmed in real time for the 10 minutes it takes to ride the car. Sometimes they talk to each other. Sometimes they don't. In one case, they are a bunch of goats (really). They don't seem to be aware that they are on camera. This film is riveting. Seriously. I loved it.

The critics must have been really smoking *something*

The critics must have been really smoking *something* if they rate this movie as a 91%. Fools often admire what they don't understand especially in today's world where every piece of bullshit filmmaking is touted as "art".
