Heart Songs is a moody little gem that captures a certain kind of loneliness and longing. Shot on 35 mm in the Canadian backwoods, it has this raw, atmospheric quality that brings the setting to life. Tom McCamus gives a subtle performance as the lone wanderer, perfectly embodying that sense of searching. The Cajun singer, whose music is woven throughout, adds an intriguing layer to the narrative. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to really soak in the quiet moments. It’s interesting how it adapts Annie Proulx's writing, bringing her themes of connection and isolation to the forefront. There’s something almost ethereal about it, making you reflect long after the credits roll.
