Hermit

About This Movie

So, 'Hermit' is this fascinating documentary that dives into Viktor Stepanov's life in the forest. He’s been out there for 22 years, just living off the land, five kilometers from the nearest village. The film’s tone is deeply introspective, almost meditative, and it really captures the rugged beauty of his surroundings. It's not just about survival; there's this ongoing exploration of man’s relationship with nature. The pacing is slow but intentional, allowing you to soak in the atmosphere. It’s shot in a way that feels raw, almost like you’re right there with him. Definitely not your typical documentary, but there’s something oddly captivating about Viktor’s philosophy and lifestyle.
