"Sleep Furiously"
A Welsh documentary, which is essentially a love story about a particular region and people of Wales.
Beautifully shot and perfectly paced, this is a strong reminder of the country that I will soon return to... Ireland.
Threaded together by a mobile librarian traveling to the region's numerous farms via mini-van, this doc shares with us the visual wonders of this land in a most poetic way. Sheep herding, piglet birthing, calf birthing, milking machines, hay-making mechanics, choir singing, dogs, and county fairs.
I'm not sure what the title refers to but this is a land of people known for their musical and artistic abilities.
Beautiful.
