“minimalism”

 

not a great film as “film art,” not a groundbreaker in the documentary genre, and nothing new to me personally, but definitely an important subject matter, and probably a great introduction for the general public about several current trends in anticonsumerism, especially post-great-recession (and another one is already around the corner, so, don’t overextend)

if you’re too tired and overwhelmed, if you struggle with finances, if you’re looking for the meaning of life or whatever, this isn’t gonna necessarily convince you of anything, but it might show a bunch of different approaches to a problem you might be trying to solve (money, housing, environment, travel, kids, closets, health, organization, sanity, whatever) and get you thinking. features a bunch of internet-famous specialist “guests” on these topics, plus a sociologist (juliet schor) and a neuroscientist, so there is something for everybody.

anyway, it streams on netflix if you got it. otherwise i’m sure i’ts findeable somewhere for a reasonable fee.
