So, 'Songbook' really stands out in the documentary space. It's this intimate exploration that Mariah Garnett has pieced together from her great-great aunt's diaries and operatic scores. You get a real sense of personal history, and the pacing feels like a gentle walk through memories, layered with a lot of emotional depth. The visuals are striking but also understated, allowing the viewer to really absorb the themes of legacy and artistic expression. There’s an almost haunting atmosphere to the way the archival material is presented; it's like you’re stepping into a forgotten world. Garnett’s approach feels both personal and universal, which is kind of rare to see in documentaries these days. Definitely one for those who appreciate the blending of personal narrative and historical context.
