Mr. Lawnmower

Some may find this film slow, boring, repetitive, and silent. But it wasn't meant to entertain. I wanted to create a work that, more than a film in the traditional sense, is a documentary: a description of reality, as it is. Through silent observation, I recount the daily work of an elderly man who passionately tends a garden. "Mr. Lawnmower" was born from a desire to convey the beauty and depth of small things, often overlooked or considered trivial. The film invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the daily life of an elderly man carrying out his monotonous work, which reflects the reality of many lives. In an era where cinema tends to favor fast-paced, emotionally impactful stories, "Mr. Lawnmower" chooses slowness and contemplation. This film shows that even simplicity and routine can give rise to profound narratives, which deserve to be told and experienced. I firmly believe that slow and experimental cinema still has much to offer and should be appreciated more than ever, as it opens new perspectives on the world and our human experience.
