About This Movie
Routine Pleasures is a fascinating dive into a subculture that many wouldn’t think twice about. Jean-Pierre Gorin's lens captures the intricate world of model railroad enthusiasts, blending a sense of humor with genuine curiosity. The pacing is leisurely, almost meditative, allowing you to savor the details of the miniature landscapes and the passion of the hobbyists. What stands out is Gorin's interaction with Manny Farber, a figure whose insights on art permeate the film. The practical effects are mostly those tiny trains and landscapes, yet they evoke a certain charm, a nostalgia. It’s less about the trains themselves and more about what they represent—community, dedication, and the beauty of small-scale artistry.
