The camera simply follows two women cutting grass on a pasture—nothing more. And yet, it is utterly captivating. What makes it so striking is the filmmaker’s perspective, their way of capturing the “everyday.” In documentary film, the “everyday” doesn’t emerge through montage (or manipulation), but rather through the filmmaker’s philosophy—what they choose to see and how they choose to see it through the lens.
