Owl Gets in Your Eyes

About This Movie

So, 'Owl Gets in Your Eyes' by Chris Marker is one of those intriguing pieces that slides into the documentary category but feels more poetic in nature. Part of his Three Video Haikus series, this film takes a really intimate look at owls—especially their young ones. It's not just about the visual; it's the way Marker captures those subtle expressions and the way they observe their surroundings. The pacing is slow and meditative, allowing you to really absorb the atmosphere. You get lost in their world, almost feeling like you're sharing a moment with them. The practical effects? Well, it’s all real and raw, which adds to the experience. Just a unique slice of life that showcases the beauty of nature through Marker’s lens.
