Permies Movie Night!

I thought, until I actually read the post, that Permies was going to arrange the film and the poll was to find out which one to go for! Wouldn't work for me this time of the year, there's too much to do. Mid winter would be better!

I think it fits well to permies. It is about man who lives alone in the Siberian forests at the beginning of  20th century when he meets bunch of soldiers mapping the area. He lives and travels with them some time.

I've never heard of this but definitely want to watch it!  Read some of the comments by others and, well, for sure I would like to watch it.  Makes me think of Anastasia from the Ringing Cedars--so far not a movie but only a book series

Thanks for suggesting this!  I probably can't watch it on Friday night with everyone.

The Hadhramaut region in the south east of Yemen is well known for its mud brick architecture. Throughout the centuries, the population has developed very sophisticated building techniques and created a unique architectural environment. Spectacular structures such as ten-story mud brick tower houses rise up from the valley's floor. In interviews throughout the documentary, the masons describe their working techniques and the challenges they face with the introduction of new, imported building materials. The Architecture of Mud documents the vernacular architecture, the building craft and the society they belong to.

A truffle hunter who lives alone in the Oregonian wilderness must return to his past in Portland in search of his beloved foraging pig after she is kidnapped. source

The film treats the Portland food scene with a mix of realism and satire. It is most effective when it portrays spheres of high-end contemporary dining as antiseptic, Marie Kondoed zones of late capital where nature is evoked as simulacra. Through Robin’s perspective, we see the hypocrisy built into an industry that tries to evoke nature by ruthlessly controlling it.
