The Ancient Woods

This movie is not just a documentary it is a celebration of photography. Beautiful transitions, lots of nature sounds. Some of them quite mysterious and even scary. As we joked it even resembles a horror movie sometimes. If you are looking for a relaxing documentary this is quite good.

When you watch this film you get very close to nature. The unexpected concealing choices for camera angles make it exciting. The sound carries you through the film. A movie for a relaxing moment!

The documentary takes us to one of the rare patches of ancient woodland located in Lithuania.

This is for you if you are fatigued with over narrated and over storied nature documentaries. Here we get ZERO narration and long slow shots of amazing wildlife and the accompanying sounds of the forest. With no distractions you become immersed into this amazing world.

It really does not drag as it is fascinating to see what the animals and wildlife will do next. I personally learned of a number of new creatures we have in Europe that I wasn't aware of from watching this.

Highly recommended nature film.
