 Simple in its slow, calm storytelling, but profound in the philosophical points it raised about how we are all connected in the vast ecosystem.

 In an age when we’re constantly reminded of all that’s bad, All That Breathes celebrates good things it’s easy to forget: the wonder of life, the virtues of compassion and the human capacity to make the world better.

 These birds are utterly other, while their rescuers represent the best of us.

 Meditative, truthful film-making that deserves to be seen anywhere the human animal coexists with others.

 Sen’s mesmerising masterpiece is also a worrying look at how pollution and overpopulation are placing an intolerable strain on the balance between humans and nature.

 Although the film’s tone is sometimes quietly apocalyptic, its director Shaunak Sen manages to capture stirring scenes of beauty in slow-motion cityscapes, just as he finds optimism and hope in the diligence of his fraternal subjects.

 … another sample that demonstrates that for certain circles, the only way to digest poverty is to dress it up until it becomes unrecognizable. [Full review in Spanish]

 “All That Breathes” is a good movie and an Oscar-nominated one; I just quibble with whether it’s actually a documentary. Its use of elaborate cinematic techniques suggests it’s less fly-on-the-wall than moments played for posterity.

 Especially telling is an observation on the loneliness of man as a species, b/c we are sentient. The birds, and the nature around them, are keeping each other company and only we stand alone in our modernity, pollution and war. Man to nature perfection.

 A documentary that argues for Nature within a larger ecosystem, equalizing humanity with the rats, fungi, and scavenger birds. The lack of human ego on display is inspiring.

 All things that breathe—humans, animals, vegetation, and the land—are all under God’s dominion. It’s all quite stirring and inspiring without being heavy-handed or sanctimonious.

 The cinematography in this film is amazing (by Ben Bernhard, Riju Das and Saumyananda Sahi). The cameras seem to capture every bit of life in the city, from the smallest spider, to the horses, monkeys, camels, pigs, goats and cows that roam the streets.
