' “Songs of Earth” portrays the bond between the endangered Norwegian nature and Olin’s (the director) 85-year old father. The documentary shows how nature is threatened by climate change, while also depicting the passage of generations.
The film had its world premiere at the Copenhagen International Documentary Festival and marks the first time a documentary film has been selected as the Norwegian entry to the international feature film category." Variety
Lisa took me to this marvelous movie from 2023 newly released in America. Filmed in Oldedalen, Nordfjord, Norway it combines spectacular photography with the reflections of the director's 84 year old father, as he hikes the mountains, and her 76 year old mother. It's in Norwegian with English subtitles, a great gift to this hearing impaired viewer. "Breathtaking" said one reviewer. Unfortunately it was the final showing in Minneapolis but if it shows near you GO!
Takk for alt,

PS I think the last time Lisa and I attended a movie together was in 2008, we saw Gran Torino!
