About This Movie

The Temple of Augustus and Livia seen near Saint-Prim is a fascinating documentary that meanders through the echoes of ancient history.

You get a sense of local lore, with the towns of Vienne and Chonas-l'Amballan providing a rich backdrop. The sound design is particularly striking—blending diegetic and non-diegetic elements that create this ethereal atmosphere, almost ghostly at times. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to soak in the ambiance and history rather than rushing through. It’s this mix of observational study and a touch of the supernatural that really sets it apart, giving it an almost dreamlike quality throughout.
