    Stunning work of art

    This is easily my favorite movie that I've watched so far this year. I'm not much one for poetry, but the writing of the narration in this movie was beautiful, amusing and profound. The cinematography was not only very well done, but more beautifully combined with the great narration by Iggy Pop and the wonderful musical score into a masterful piece of art.

    Halfway through I knew I wanted to watch this again. I'd also love to read the narration on its own.

    Mesmerizing!

    This is one of the most beautiful film I have watched period. I think all attempts trying to describe it would came out short, so just go watch it. After I finish it I was left with an unusual and surprising sensation that Im still trying to put on words. The image are superb, the music is so on point and wonderfully edited, and the narration... poetic, cleaver and humorous.

    A journey into the human essence that doesnt feel pretentious, and its accompanied with Iggy Pop marvelous voice!

    • Trivia
      The film was shot by 62 cinematographers in 70 countries, both superstars and beginners, who were challenged by the director to submit "documentary shots of Nothing" in 5 distinct stages, from carte blanche to full instructions. They did so through a customized online brainstorming platform, on which they could view and comment the footage of each other, but without knowing who said or who filmed what.

      Nothing: Realizing how small and insignificant you are / cannot be compensated by the size of your car / a big tab at the bar / a sexy avatar / a smashed guitar / or one last cigar.
