From Swiss scientists who seek to probe regions of time we cannot see in a 27-kilometre long tunnel, to lava flows in Hawaii which have overwhelmed all but one home on the south side of Big Island, to a Hindu funeral rite near the place of Buddha’s enlightenment, Mettler explores our perception of time, the nature of time. “What is time? When no one asks me, then I know. Was I to explain it to someone, only then I don’t.” (St. Augustine) (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)

Extremely viewer non-friendly philosophical musings about time, space and life. Not that lava isn’t an interesting natural phenomenon, but watching it flow repeatedly for several minutes gets tiring. In addition, we get to see filler shots of moving clouds and lakes, a brief visit to CERN in Switzerland (which does not tell us anything interesting about the facility), and especially the annoying random shots made by a graphic designer on acid, interspersed with bits of academic wisdom along the lines of “time is not a thing but an idea”. No, thank you. Godfrey Reggio’s trilogy and Terrence Malick’s films are captivating and beautiful, whereas this is bullshit.
