Finding Joe

About This Movie

Finding Joe dives deep into Joseph Campbell's ideas about myth and storytelling. The film has this meditative quality, with its pacing inviting you to reflect on the narratives that shape our lives. There's a nice blend of interviews with thinkers across various fields, from filmmakers to artists, all offering their take on Campbell's work. The practical effects are minimal, but they don’t distract from the core message. The use of kids reenacting classic tales adds a touch of innocence and whimsy. It feels like a journey rather than just a documentary—an exploration of the human experience through the lens of myth, which is what really makes it distinctive.
