Convento is a fascinating exploration of a Dutch family's endeavor to reshape a 400-year-old monastery in a remote Portuguese village. The film carries a unique tone, almost dreamlike at times, blending documentary with surreal elements that challenge the viewer's perception of reality. The pacing can feel meditative, allowing the lush surroundings and the family's journey to unfold organically. It's not just about restoration; it's about the intersection of art, nature, and community. The cinematography captures the stunning landscape, and the practical effects of time's passage are palpable, giving the viewer an immersive experience. The performances, though unscripted, convey deep emotion and commitment, leading to a reflective atmosphere that's distinct and memorable.
