Honeyland

This is an intriguing documentary, done with no commentary and through just observing a honey gatherer in a small Macedonian village, and how her business is affected by new arrivals with a different philosophy. I must admit this wasn't quite up my alley - it takes its time to draw things together, and, in all honesty, I do feel that this might be open to accusations of not playing entirely fair with its subject (in particular, the father of the family of new arrivals never really gets a balanced portrait, it seems if there was any footage of him not behaving like an arsehole, it never got used). But I appreciate the underlying metaphor and the time and dedication taken - even if I don't utterly love this.
